About
I’m a game and software developer based in Malta, in the final year of a BSc (Hons) Digital Games Development at MCAST (expected 2027). From February 2025 to October 2026 I worked as a Digital Game Development Apprentice in Heritage Malta’s Digitisation Sector, building and refining gameplay mechanics and interactive systems for digital-heritage experiences, including the core gameplay mechanics of an Unreal Engine 5 VR submarine experience. My own projects include Top Shelf, a Unity mobile game where toy figurines ricochet around arenas and chain elemental reactions; Astra Tactics, a portrait tactics RPG with state-driven turn-based battles; and Pit Lane, the visual, gamified tutor for my dissertation, where novice programmers step through C# programs and predict each value. I care about usability and interactions that feel intuitive.
