Experience Summary

I started programming as a kid on a Intel 486 PC. It was DOS and QBASIC. Since then I made insane amount of projects related to Computer Graphics and Programming.

I'm a Professional Game Developer and Producer. Thanks to years of experience in game and IT industry I know how to create and handle small to big projects.

I manage the whole process of product design and development. From estimating the cost and man power need to delivery final product on time.

I code mostly in Python, model in Blender, and hack with AIs.
