  • More than 10 years of supervisory experience in desktop and mobile game development with international research experience. Excellent ability to conceptualize gameplay design with an emphasis on user experience and the psychology of game patterns. Key strengths include agile project management, process optimization through the evaluation of new technologies including augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality development platforms.

  • As a proud professor of game development, my students have successfully landed a job in the game industry GameLoft, Casual Connect, Aarki, Inc., and BoomZap entertainment. My e-courses about game development in Udemy, SkillShare, and Youtube have garnered over 1000 students worldwide.
