Daniel C.

C/C++ Game Developer | Raylib, Unity, Godot | Linux and Steam Ports

I’m a game developer and systems-focused programmer with experience shipping complete projects from concept to release. I specialize in rapid prototyping, gameplay systems, single-player game design, and technical problem solving, with a strong focus on building clean, maintainable, and scalable systems. I’ve worked across many areas of development — including gameplay programming, project management, technical design, tooling, audio implementation, UI workflows, and production support — which allows me to adapt quickly and contribute wherever needed. I’m especially comfortable working with small teams, building features from the ground up, debugging difficult problems, and helping projects stay organized and moving forward. My strongest skillset is systems development: gameplay logic, state management, tools, architecture, optimization, and creating workflows that make development smoother for both developers and designers. I enjoy tackling complicated technical challenges while keeping the end-user experience intuitive and polished. Above all else, I value honest and direct communication. I believe great development work depends on clarity, responsiveness, and trust, and I make it a priority to keep clients informed, aligned, and confident throughout the entire process.
