About Me, Game Jams & Events
About Me
Hey there! My journey with music started when I was just nine years old. After nearly 14 years of playing the guitar, combining my musical background with my love for video games felt like a natural next step.I hold a Bachelor's degree in Digital Game Design from Eastern Mediterranean University, where I graduated with High Honors.Over the past 4 years, I have worked on various indie and freelance projects. During this time, I've created custom sound effects, composed adaptive music, and designed immersive audio for games, apps, animations and trailers.
I have been performing live since I was 17 years old and have played more than 100 live shows across various venues and events. These experiences helped me improve my musical skills, work with different people, and understand the importance of sound in creating memorable experiences. I have also taken part in charity events, including performances supporting animal shelters and local communities. All of these experiences have strengthened my passion for music, collaboration, and the way sound can shape an experience — something I now bring into my work in game audio.
Youtube Channel
I have been creating videos on YouTube for over 10 years. I mostly share video game music covers, and sometimes I upload my own original music. My channel has reached over 1.5 million total views. I enjoy creating music and sharing it with people who love video game soundtracks.
Game Jams & Events
GamFed Global Gamification Hackathon - 2023
We participated as a team in the GAMFED Global Gamification Hackathon with our project, The Longhair Island.The project is a music-focused game designed for university students, combining interactive gameplay with engaging audio-driven experiences. Our goal was to create a fun and immersive experience that encourages player engagement through music and gamification elements.
Game Design & Development Community
I was a member of the Game Design and Development Community for two years, where we organized various events and three Game Jams (EMU Game Jam 3,4,5).I worked as an activity coordinator in EMU Game Jam 3 and 5, helping organize and support the overall event flow and participant experience. I joined EMU Game Jam 4 as a team member and contributed to the development of RoboBug, a game created with Godot. I also supported several teams by creating and integrating sound effects and music, contributing to the overall audio direction of different projects.
