About Me
A bit about myself, my background, and my experience.
Hey there! I'm Toyan, a passionate programmer deeply immersed in the dynamic realm of game development. My journey with video games commenced at the tender age of 3, ignited by the enchanting world of Super Mario World. Since then, my fascination has evolved into a relentless pursuit, fueling my desire to create and innovate within the gaming sphere.
Driven by an insatiable desire to create, I embarked on a coding odyssey to hone my skills and craft. This led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Computer Games Technology, laying the foundation for my professional journey.
Following graduation, I embarked on a fulfilling tenure at Rock Solid Knowledge, where I underwent transformative growth over four enriching years. I honed my skills over four enriching years, surrounded by a collective wealth of knowledge and guided by mentors whose dedication shaped not only my technical prowess, but also my character.
In pursuit of perpetual growth, in 2019, I enrolled in a Master's program in Video Game Development to further expand my horizons. Leveraging my prior experience, I excelled in the program, culminating in securing a position well before graduation.
In mid-2020, I joined Codemasters Cheshire, where I contributed to the development of Dirt 5, immersing myself in the exhilarating process leading up to its launch. Additionally, I had the privilege of contributing to an unannounced Unreal Engine racing game, enriching my repertoire of skills and experiences.
November 2021 marked a pivotal moment as I joined the talented team at Sony Firesprite. Here, I've had the privilege of working on gameplay and related systems for diverse projects, including Sea of Thieves Season 6, Horizon Call of the Mountain, and another exciting unannounced Unreal Engine endeavour.
My journey in game development has been marked by continuous growth, unwavering dedication, and a profound love for the craft. With each project, I strive to help my team push boundaries, innovate, and craft immersive experiences that captivate audiences worldwide.
