First Steps
After recreating some familiar games, I realized that my whole consciousness was pointing toward VR in all its forms.
Which Engines
I appreciate the possibilities of Unreal engine, but at the same time, I prefer C#, which leads me to nominate Unity as my engine of choice. Of course, we mustn't forget the possibilities of HTML, with the help of which I created a fantastic experience for the Association of UK Pathologists related to viruses worldwide.
Future Goals
I can say that I am proud of what I have achieved so far, but my goals are much bigger than creating small projects. My nature has always pushed me to achieve bigger and heftier goals. That's why I want to be part of a project that would encourage me to exceed my possibilities.
