Imagine a short, 7-year old boy kicking a football on the local playground in the suburban areas of the post-sovietic capital city of the Moldovan Republic -  Chisinau. One day he hears the other boys talk about "Pentiums" and Stalkers. The interest those words have ignited in that boy, which you correctly guessed (it was me), was mesmerizing. When only knowing other worlds from pictures and books, he could not stop wondering about the miracles computers would be able to accomplish and all the adventures and stories those virtual worlds could offer.

Luckily, after some really exhausting months of begging his parents and especially his uncle, who was working in the newly founded "IT" department of a digital publishing company, the boy managed to get his first ever personal computer.

There was no sound more satisfying than booting up and hearing the Windows XP welcome screen. You were even able to create your own profile and choose a profile picture!

My first videogame ever was NFS Underground 2, acoompanied by loading screens up to 10 minutes.

Further, my earliest experiences with virtual worlds revolved around games like Call of Pripyat, Zoo Tycoon, Super Mario and Call of Duty: World at War. I was immediately drawn to the possibilities and fascination of these digital realities. Games and their presented adventures in those virtual worlds became a part of my life. I loved becoming a survivor of an apocalypse, pirate, city planner, a race driver, a soldier, a zoo manager, or simply a jumping plumber with a red hat.

At 15, I discovered Fallout and with it, the Creation Kit, which I used to create my first mods for Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Ever since, I've dreamt of crafting my own world and creating adventures for all the other storytellers and dreamers out there.

For the past two years, I've been working with the Unreal Engine, dedicating my free time to creating various game systems and designing levels. This passion for world-building drives me every day, and I look forward to continuing to unleash my creativity and craft new adventures for all the dreamers and gamers of tomorrow.

Specifically, I want to create games that deviate from the standard. Games that will bring about that magic of playing something for the first time, grasping stunning visuals and wanting to explore every corner of the game world. Simply thinking about the possibilities one could take, if one was in the game himself.
