Skills

Unity Development

Since the beginning of my journey at Games Academy, I have specialized in Unity, leveraging my strong C# expertise to build intuitive and efficient game systems. My deep understanding of the engine allows me to develop immersive experiences that balance technical precision with creative vision.

Platform Development & Optimization

My professional experience began with a Nintendo Switch port, where I honed my platform-specific optimization skills. I then expanded my expertise to include Xbox and the Microsoft Store, ensuring high performance across different platforms. During my time at Games Academy, I also developed the mobile game Galaxy Gobbles, further strengthening my adaptability across gaming ecosystems.

Unreal Engine Development

Unreal Engine serves as my secondary engine, with which I have collaborated extensively on both student and personal projects. Whether working with C++ or Blueprints, I have built complex systems and gameplay mechanics that showcase technical proficiency and creative execution.

Web Development & Scalable Architectures

With experience as a Fullstack Web Developer and various freelance web development projects, I have mastered the art of building scalable architectures—a skill that translates seamlessly into game development. Strong backend structures and efficient frontend design form the backbone of interactive digital experiences, and I apply these principles across platforms.

Games Academy Experience

Games Academy provided far more than just technical training—it gave me a holistic understanding of game development. From project management and team collaboration to Git pipeline setup, deliverable creation, and presentation skills, I cultivated a broad skillset that equips me to navigate the full lifecycle of game production.

Testimonials

“[...], she simply got things done.”

Working with Katarina was an absolute pleasure. She approached the porting of three platforms simultaneously with remarkable focus, ownership, and technical skill. Even tasks outside of her direct responsibility were handled proactively and with care. She never waited to be asked, she simply got things done.

Throughout the process, she communicated clearly and regularly, managing everything independently while keeping the team in the loop. Her self-initiative, problem-solving mindset, and positive energy made the entire collaboration smooth and enjoyable. We'd be more than happy to work with her again.
