Hello! I’m a level designer and Unreal Engine developer with professional experience in the games industry, including working at Funcom on Dune: Awakening, a highly immersive open world survival game. In that role, I contributed to level design and gameplay implementation within a large-scale production environment, collaborating across disciplines to build immersive spaces and engaging gameplay systems. Working on a AAA project sharpened my understanding of production workflows, iteration, clear communication, and how to create gameplay that feels polished and purposeful!
Alongside my industry experience, I’ve also worked as a Coding Coach at Code Wiz Durham, where I taught students ranging from 7 to 17 years old. I led hands-on classes focused on game development, programming fundamentals, and creative problem-solving. My teaching philosophy is simple: students learn best by building! Whether we were designing games, scripting mechanics, or debugging together, I emphasized understanding the “why” behind the logic — not just following steps.
Teaching such a wide age range strengthened my ability to adapt my style depending on who I’m working with. With younger students, I focus on encouragement, creativity, and breaking complex ideas into clear, manageable pieces. With teens, I shift toward deeper technical explanations, structured problem-solving, and helping them think like real developers. Every lesson is tailored to the individual’s goals, experience level, and learning style!
Across both professional development and education, my goal is the same: help people gain confidence by building real, playable systems. Whether you’re brand new to Unreal Engine or looking to refine advanced gameplay and design skills, I bring practical industry insight, patience, and an energetic, supportive teaching style to every session!
