I'm currently open to freelancing and collaborations while I work to make my indie team grow. I'm on an exciting journey to shape engaging gaming experiences and understanding human nature.🕹️ Passion for Game DevelopmentIn this early stages of my career, following my interest in the media and/or industry and my strong desire of being part of a community, I've been immersed in the world of game development. My primary focus has been on a personal project with our indie team, where I've had the chance to polish my programming, organizational and interpersonal skills. In the meantime I'm also studying game engines (starting with Godot and working towards UE5), production/project managing skills and attending to community events to support my growth.💡 Exploring Cognitive PsychologyI'm exploring the fascinating intersection of gaming and cognitive psychology. My interest lies in understanding player behavior and interaction, aiming to infuse our games with a deeper connection. In my Master's thesis, I also conducted an empyrical study to also find correlations with the world of the Self Determination Theory.👥 Early Career CollaborationSInce my childhood days, I thrive in collaborative environments. As a both an engineer and an aspiring producer I seek to blend my technical skills with a keen sense of teamwork, ensuring effective communication and smooth project execution. 🎮HobbiesOutside work I am a gamer (mainly challenging and/or strategic games and/or tabletops, but I am also often captivated by strong narrative/aesthetic), I cook (I am very confindent about my Pizzas!), I listen music (Prog Rock/Metal, but I also like many electronic genres) and podcasts, I read/watch (a lot of) manga/anime, I also really like drawing and would like to study art more in the future.🔗 Let's Connect and Grow TogetherI would love to connect with fellow game developers, AI enthusiasts, Psychologists, and anyone passionate about the evolving landscape of technology and gaming.
