About Me

My name is Alana and I am a C++ games programmer from Melbourne! I have a strong interest in gameplay programming, with a solid foundation in both C++ and C#. Over my time as a programmer I have gained practical experience in both Unreal Engine and Unity, developing a variety of games and projects to continuously refine and expand my skills. 

I am excited to dive deeper into the potential of different gameplay systems within video games, while continuing to expand my skills and understanding of them. My goal is to collaborate on exciting projects with other creative developers, pushing myself to grow as a programmer and contribute to the gaming community.

Outside of game development, you can find me out in the mountains climbing rocks or roller skating around at the skate park.  I like to keep myself active and moving around,  while also still challenging myself by pushing both my physical and mental limits. 

Being outdoors is also a great excuse to bring along my explorative pup, Moxxi, with me. She has endless energy and loves her frisbee, so we are often down at the park throwing her frisbee around. At the end of the day, we like to unwind with an evening walk and spending the night hanging out.

I'm also a big music lover! When I am working I will most likely have my current favourite album or artist playing. I often spend my weeknights or weekends seeing my favourite bands live when they're in town, as it's the perfect excuse to catch up with some friends while also enjoying some great tunes.

And of course, I love playing games! Just to name a few that I love:

• The Sims

• The Witcher 3

• Outer Wilds 

• Baldur's Gate

• The Binding Of Isaac

• Borderlands
