Unreal Engine Developer | Technical Artist | Environment & Lighting Artist| Educator
I design and develop games, and I love what I do
Hi, I’m Matt. Nice to meet you!
Since beginning my journey as a game developer over 10 years ago, I’ve done commercial Steam games, worked with indies and start-ups, and collaborated with talented people to create games. I’m naturally curious, and have an obsession with game development. I strive to constantly create new work and improving as a game developer.
Lighting, Environment and Technical Art
I care about the visual experience of the player. Having unique, detailed and beautiful looking environments to explore and interact with. Environments that elevate the game to a new level.
Levels also need fantastic design. Pairing both level design and system design to create an amazing player experience.
Programming And Technical Skills
I have a deep understanding of programming and software. I can handle both creative and technical development and was lead creative and technical developer on LONN.
I can bridge the gap between all disciplines of game development and act as a multiplier on the team. Using workflows and processes catered to the teams unique skills and traits, allowing everyone to create games in a more productive and sustainable way.
Mentor
Being able to help in another persons development, improving upon their craft and celebrating their success is extremely rewarding.
I taught game development for many years and have used those lessons to lead, teach and help those around me. I built a YouTube channel and shared my skills and experience with thousands of people around the world. To help others in their game development journeys.

About Me
When I was 10 I started using Game maker. I then moved onto game modding/map editors and Flash games. After that I became advanced with Unity and taught it. Now I’ve become extremely proficient with Unreal Engine, the engine does not matter to me. With strong fundamentals in software, art and programming I can use any tool to complete the job. I love the craft of creating games and could talk about it for hours on end. I also love playing games and want to work with passionate game developers and contribute to amazing game projects.
