That passion took me to Dundee, Scotland, where I studied Game Development. After four years of study and a stint in the game industry working as a Designer on top-grossing mobile games, I decided to broaden my skillset. I’ve since transitioned into web development and now work as a full-stack developer on projects commissioned by the Cyprus Government.
On the side, I run my own indie game studio, Stardrop Games, and we’re currently gearing up to release our debut title, Block Witch.
My journey began with a love for games and technology.
