Hello

My name is Mihails, and I'm looking for remote or local to Kent opportunities.

My primary interests are eSport, art, system-level and software-level programming, so I pursued a game design degree to combine all four passions.

Open-source software forms the core of my toolset, and I'm deeply grateful to everyone involved in making it possible and aspire to contribute.

Skills

I have the most experience with working in C-like statically-typed languages. Yet, I'm always eager to tackle new challenges, and sometimes that means learning new tools.

When learning, I find core computing fundamentals helping me learn the new tool and understand its underlying design principles.

PROGRAMMING
- C
  - Raylib
- C++
  - Unreal Engine
- Python
  - Automation
  - Flask
- C#
  - Unity
- Zig / Rust

Study

During my time at CCCU, I had the opportunity to collaborate with many exceptional individuals, learn design fundamentals, and gain insights into the process of gamification.
