Game Design & 3D Modeling

This area highlights my work in interactive design, immersive media, and digital creativity. Leveraging tools like Unreal Engine and Blender, I’ve developed prototypes, built 3D environments, and explored user-first interaction design. I focus on bridging functional usability with artistic storytelling, creating digital spaces that are intuitive, accessible, and visually compelling.

Systems & Technical Support

Providing structured, consistent, and user-centric IT support has been the cornerstone of my career. I’ve resolved complex software and hardware issues, improved process documentation, and contributed to more efficient operations at the municipal level. My work includes system administration, inventory tracking, and first-contact customer resolution—all with a service-first mindset.

International Project Leadership

During my time at Dun & Bradstreet, I led cross-border teams, coordinated service operations, and managed high-impact technical projects. I worked closely with international stakeholders, maintained project timelines, and drove communication between departments. I also monitored budget impacts and reported project milestones to align with corporate objectives.

Business Operations & Entrepreneurship

Running two separate businesses—a construction company and a webshop—taught me the value of hands-on leadership, adaptability, and strategic thinking. I handled budgeting, payroll, staffing, and day-to-day operations. This real-world business experience allows me to approach technology not only from the back end, but also from the perspective of operations, sales, and end users.
