I am a video game developer and 3D animator with over six years of experience in the industry. I've taught numerous courses on topics such as Unreal Engine 5, C++, Epic Online Services (EOS), game NPCs, vehicle games, OOP in C++20, and pointers & memory management in C++, helping aspiring developers bring their ideas to life. On Udemy, I have published over 10 courses covering game development, programming, and animation.
I also developed the multiplayer shooter game "Deadly Domain," published on the Epic Games Store. Using Unreal Engine 5 and C++, I crafted a game that showcases my commitment to creating engaging and immersive experiences.
In early 2020, my siblings along with myself, founded Genifinity, which later became Genifinity Inc. in Canada in 2024. Our mission is to empower people through online courses in game development, programming, and 3D animation. We have published "Deadly Domain" on Epic Games, created over 10 Udemy courses, launched three YouTube channels, built three websites, and produced more than five short animated movies. Additionally, we've collaborated on over 50 projects with major companies worldwide.
My extensive experience as a motion graphic designer and 3D animator with large national television networks has enriched my skill set and perspective. With a passion for both game development and education, I am dedicated to helping others achieve their goals in programming, video game creation, and 3D animation.
