Main Tools:
The Legend of Khimorii | Junior – Regular Programmer
On TLOK, I worked as a fulltime Unreal programmer. Over time leads regarded me as a pillar in the tech team, since I majorly pushed and owned specific features next to writing & implementing TDDs, doing migrations, extensions and refactors.
NightinGames | Tech Lead
During my time at NightinGames, I provided overall technical direction for the studio and acted as the Tech Lead for two projects. My responsiblilities included recruitment, mentoring, project steering, task planning, introducing workflows, DevOps, IT support.
A Raccoon’s Tale | Quest Design, Tech Lead
In my final project for studies, I got in charge of the tech and was heavily involved in developing a cinematic, atmospheric, mature style and story.
Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch | Junior Programmer
During the cooperation of NightinGames with Aesir Interactive, we worked on patches and DLCs for HT:EVR – entailing mainly bugfixing and small feature development for me.
Ocularis | Narrative Design, Design Lead
In my first bigger study project, I was responsible for storytelling and later overall design – e.g. planning locations, coding a dialog system, coordinating voice actors.
Modding The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt | Quest Design
As a modder, I’ve been designing and implementing quests, (cut-)scenes and living world locations (e.g., NPC communities) for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
