About — Amirali Tavakol, Game Developer & 3D Artist

PROFILE

Amirali Tavakol coding on a laptop in his game development studio — DUISBURG, DE

I build games and the worlds they live in — gameplay systems in C#, real-time environments in Unreal Engine 5, modular assets and lighting in Blender.

My route in was engineering: a mechanical engineering degree taught me systems, tolerances and how things actually hold together. That thinking now shows up in level layouts, performance budgets and clean, maintainable gameplay code.

Alongside development I design — pixel art, characters, and media/social design in Photoshop, Illustrator and Figma — so the technical and visual sides of a project never drift apart.
