In this new project I'm working close to the Unreal Engine source by extending the editor and adding new functionality. I'm combining this with my role as IT-Manager which allows me to setup full-stack solutions which connect our developers to our digital infrastructure.
Examples of my current work:
Made in: Unreal Engine 5
I started at Dimfrost Studio as an intern for one year while studying general game development.
I then started a full time position as a level designer but transitioned later into the programming team. I worked on a lot of backend systems, UI programming, Localization implementation, CI/CD and acted like a bridge between different teams due to my broad experience and knowledge.
While doing this I was also responsible for the company's IT. Which included but was not limited to setting up all computers and tools, network management, building server infrastructure, Google organization management and a lot of other day to day problems.
Made in: Unreal Engine 4
A first person experience about a widow and her fading memories made for the AdventureX Game Jam 2020.
This was a project made by the Valla Game Education class of 2020. I was coordinating the project which 15 people worked on.
We're very proud since it was the first game jam for a lot of us, and it was a lot of fun!
Made in: Unity
In my spare time i write plugins for Unreal Engine. These come to me as ideas while I work in the engine and find a problem which I know I can cleverly solve.
Some plugins i'm working on right now are:
Each plugin will be source available on my github once a 1.0 version is completed.
Loggboken is a service made by me and Simon Larsson. Created specifically to fulfill a need for schools. This is a service that provides an effective and easy to use interface for attendance reports by students that's attending a apprenticeship or other similar activities.
Complete backend made in GO bundled with a frontend utilizing Bootstrap and JQuery.
Closed Source
I do a lot of smaller projects for fun, it's often to solve a current problem I have or to learn something new.
They don't always make sense, but it's fun!
A stateful easy to host discord bot Made in GO.
Bot for granting new users to a server a basic member-role in a discord server. The purpose of the bot is to make it harder for bot accounts to enter the server and still making the joining easy enough for users. The verification code expires after X seconds.
Closed Source
I love photography and especially capturing people who otherwise aren't comfortable with their photo being taken.
I mostly shoot with a Sony A7s + Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 prime lens.
I mess around when I have time to spare in Blender, Octane or Unreal engine.
I'm always interested in new opportunities,
don't hesitate to shoot an email my way.
