// Game Programmer
ABOUT ME
Hi there! I program games for a living and I am deeply passionate about it too! I'm available to develop games in Unreal Engine 4 and Unity. Contacting me is easy!
Just email me at adamweesner.dev@gmail.com and I'll be glad to assist you in your project.
I love creating clean, modular code that is easy to read and modify. I understand the need for an adaptable architecture that is open to rapid shifts in design.
I am familiar with a diverse array of programming fields, including gameplay, tools, UI, and network programming.
I am comfortable working along side others in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, from small to large-scale projects.
