Who Am I

Ismail Yildirim
Cambridge Graduate
UE5 Developer

I'm a Computer Science graduate from the Anglia Ruskin University with a deep passion for game development and immersive digital experiences.

Currently building Dual Shift — a 4v4 tactical shooter in Unreal Engine 5 featuring a groundbreaking dual-body consciousness mechanic that lets players switch between two bodies mid-match. The project blends cutting-edge gameplay design with advanced UE5 systems.

Beyond game dev, I bring full-stack web development experience, cloud infrastructure knowledge, and a cybersecurity mindset to every project I tackle. I believe the best software feels alive — and I build it that way.
