I build games the way watercolour is painted — in soft, patient layers. Gameplay systems first, then feel, then the tiny details that make a world breathe.
I'm a game developer who cares about how a game feels in the hands — the weight of a jump, the timing of a hit, the quiet moment before a puzzle clicks.
For the past seven years I've shipped titles across PC, console and mobile, moving between gameplay programming, technical design and tooling. I'm happiest where code meets craft: building systems that designers can play with and players never have to think about.
I work mainly in Unity and Unreal, write a lot of C# and C++, and prototype relentlessly. Away from the keyboard I sketch level layouts in notebooks, run small game jams in Seinäjoki, and collect old handheld consoles.
Each skill is a colour on the palette — some are primaries I reach for constantly, others are accents for the right moment.

A hand-painted puzzle-platformer about a lighthouse keeper's daughter carrying light through a drowned archipelago. I led gameplay programming: a light-propagation system that drives both puzzles and enemy behaviour, plus a forgiving movement model with coyote time and ledge assists.
“Very Positive” on Steam · 120k players in the first year
A turn-based tactics game with destructible terrain. I built the ability framework on Unreal's Gameplay Ability System, wrote a utility-AI planner for enemy squads, and cut turn-resolution time by 60% with job-based pathfinding.
Shipped on Steam, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series
A cosy merge-and-grow mobile game. I owned client architecture and performance: an Addressables-based content pipeline for live events, a data-driven economy editor for designers, and a steady 60 fps on five-year-old Android devices.

A two-player couch co-op physics game made in 48 hours, later polished into a free release. Rope physics, rollback netcode for online play, and a tiny level editor the community still uses.

Each role added a translucent layer on top of the last — together they make up how I work today.
Whether it's a full production, a prototype that needs to find its fun, or a tool your designers will love — I'd be glad to hear about it.
