I'm Safak Onol, a dedicated game programmer with a strong foundation in C/C++, C#, and various game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity. As a PASS leader at Humber College, I supported my peers in Game Math, Game Physics, Graphics, and Game Engines courses, enhancing my communication and leadership skills. My portfolio showcases my passion for creating engaging gameplay experiences, from physics-based combat systems to developing custom game engines. I'm always eager to tackle new challenges and collaborate on innovative projects in the game development industry.
