Unreal Engine Game Developer & Designer, Physicist : Kaan Samet GÜLER
I'm both a passionate gamer and a dedicated programmer. The simple rule I follow is: if I wouldn't play it, I won't create it.
I possess a comprehensive 3-year background in Unreal Engine, proficient in both blueprint and C++ programming. My expertise spans various aspects of Unreal Engine, encompassing optimization of code and assets, as well as programming for gameplay, AI, and UI.

◦ Thanks to BATU project, I attended XRTechnology fair held by BITES and presented the first version of BATU to the incoming guests. While presenting the project, receiving feedback from both knowledgable and enthusiastic people widened my perspective to gameplay and UI programming.
◦ Before we deliver the final product, BITES attended the IDEF 2023 fair. Since BATU project won recognition, I was invited to the fair and it is presented to incoming customers.
◦ Throughout the project, I continuously worked with my project manager, project engineers, QA, testers, artists and junior programmers and this enforced my teamwork abilities.

◦ The client expressed complete satisfaction with the final product, attributing it to our agile project management approach. Our project manager maintained continuous communication with the customer, keeping us informed of evolving requirements. Leveraging our resilient code, we adeptly adapted to changes, incorporating additional functionalities that exceeded expectations, ultimately ensuring the customer's contentment.
◦ Our project focused on educating technicians about the BATU engine, a complex system challenging to examine physically. To address this, we developed a digital twin of the engine and employed AR technology through Meta Quest Pro headsets. This innovative approach allowed us to fulfill all educational requirements, offering interactive XR gameplay and UI elements that proved both engaging and instructive.
◦ The project's success led to BITES securing multiple XR projects for the future. Presently, I am actively engaged in an undisclosed project, reflecting the continued confidence and trust garnered through our previous accomplishments.
