Background.

I'm Aly, a game developer based in Ottawa, ON. I got into game dev out of genuine curiosity - I've spent most of my life playing games and watching anime, and at some point I wanted to understand how it all actually gets built.

Turns out I love building things just as much as experiencing them. That curiosity turned into a real passion for gameplay programming - the systems and mechanics that make a game feel good to play, not just look good.

Lately I've been pushing deeper into UI Toolkit in Unity and GAS in Unreal - two systems I find genuinely interesting to work in.

Sports
Doesn't really matter what sport it is. If my friends are playing, I'm in - it's more about getting out and having a good time than the game itself.

Let's work together.
