Current Project

I'm currently working on a turn-based war simulation game in the style of Civilization, set in a Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) world. Developed using the Godot Engine, the game allows players to manage nations, build cities, and engage in strategic warfare. With features like city management, resource gathering, and technology research, I aim to create a dynamic and engaging experience for players.

About Me

I'm a dedicated software developer with expertise in Java, C#, and game development with Godot Engine. I excel at building efficient API endpoints using Java Spring Boot and creating secure, scalable applications. As the creator of BetOnThis, a sports betting suggestion platform that uses statistical analysis to provide optimal betting recommendations, I combine my passion for data-driven solutions with innovative problem-solving, particularly in the realm of sports data analysis.
