About Me
Hi! My name is Martin and I am a hardworking, team-oriented programmer. I'm always interested to provide my project with a piece of my own soul, to make it look alive. I'm always eager to learn new skills and create unforgettable experiences for the player.
Teamwork is the way!
I love working in the team!
Even from my youth I was creating and organized different events with people who was engaged by the idea.
My university also brought more experience with teamwork where we created games in teams. Through out the years I understood that I can find the way to work with any person in team.
There is nothing that cannot be learned
My first coding experience started when I was at school where I learned how to solve basic math using C++, then I understood that I love automating and combining different processes to create new things or solve existing problems using programming. I'm always motivated to learn new things to expand my skillset and upgrade myself as a person and as specialist.

Over the years I have accumulated experience with:
-
Languages: C#, C++, PHP, HTML, MySQL.
-
Github
-
Agile practices
-

-
Engines: Unity, Unreal.

BackToHell!
‘Back to Hell!’ is a mix between a beat-em-up with abilities, and a roguelike bullet hell where the player must dodge small but frequent projectiles. Every time you destroy an object, or kill an innocent villager, the floor starts turning red as the hellish landscape begins to form. use a series of abilities and attacks to fend off your newly conquered lands from holy bosses that intend to restore it to its original and boring form!

Cloud Save system
This is personal artefact with idea to create Cloud Save system, to showcase that I have created online multiplayer “Snake” game. Creating a Log In system for the user with database to store his data where users save file was represented as a Score to the game. This project was created using PUN to run server for the players and MAMP to create local database for the players.
​​
Project highlights:
-
Created a Log In system for the user using combination of C# and PHP to interact with SQL database. Users’ passwords were encrypted using “salting” process for better security.
-
Multiplayer’s part where snakes would compete collecting fruits which displayed on their own screens.

Tank Disaster
This is a personal project in which I created a multiplayer tank game with a destructible environment. Utilizing photon as server host and PHP code with MySQL to create a user database with proper password encryption and data storage.
Project highlights:
-
Created a Login system for the user using a combination of C# and PHP to interact with the SQL database. Users’ passwords were encrypted using a “salting” process for better security.
-
The multiplayer part is where people compete to destroy as much environment as they can to collect as many points as they can meanwhile disrupting other players.

Crow's Foot (WIP)
This is a work in progress personal project in which I try to create mobile 3D runner game for the first time.
Core gameplay will be similar to the game like subway surfers.
The main idea is that you as a Crow try to run away from yet unknown source of danger, trying to gather as many point as you can and currency which you can later spend on customisation for your character.
Project highlights so far:
-
Created a touchscreen input system.
-
Created a flexible Shop/Inventory system that allows me to quickly create and add new items to it.
