Daniel Nnadi

Creative and technical Game Programmer and 3D Artist based in Lagos, Nigeria. With 8+ years of experience as a digital artist and 4+ years specializing in game development and systems programming, I build interactive mobile and desktop titles using Unity (C#) and Blender. Skilled at converting high-level game briefs into modular gameplay mechanics, physics systems, and 3D visualizations.

I am passionate about build games and when I'm not building games, I spend a lot of time playing and learning from them. I dive into almost every genre; from fast-paced shooters and cozy simulators to massive open-world RPGs and action-adventures like Elden Ring, Grand Theft Auto, and Assassin's Creed. Always dissecting their core mechanics and systems to see how they are programmed.
