An Introduction

Hi, my name is Kazimieras Mikelis and I have been building AAA games with Unreal Engine and C++ since 2019. I've worked on titles like Marvel's Midnight Suns, Mafia: The Old Country, and Reach (VR), and I'm somewhat good at game AI programming and design.

I don't blog often, but when I do, you'll find what I have to say on this site. If you have any questions or would like advice for your game project, please feel welcome to email me or message me on LinkedIn. I aim to respond to all reader mail.

Thanks for reading!
