About me

Video games have been my passion for more than half of my life now. I have been educating myself about game design since the beginning of high school. Then I took a step further and decided to study Game Design at the University of Silesia. This helped me start working in the game dev industry.

Whenever I play a new game, I look at it from a technical standpoint and think of ways to improve it. My main goal is to improve and gain experience in my field of work and to develop projects which my team and I could be proud of.

The main tool our team uses is Unity. We have a deep knowledge of that engine.

Tools such as Jira, Everhour and Shortcut are used to manage projects well.

To communicate with clients we usually use Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and occasionally Skype.
