I'm a year old Game Developer specializing in designing and implementing game mechanics in Unity, focusing on bringing interactive systems to life and ensuring they work cohesively. I enjoy creating engaging and responsive gameplay experiences, from core mechanics to interconnected systems. I also have a passion for creating visually striking experiences, often exploring shaders and procedural techniques to enhance aesthetics.
