Yogi Wiputra’s Summary

I have committed interest in software engineering. I have been involved in many software development life cycles and I am always ready to tackle the next software engineering and architectural challenge.

I also have strong passion to develop game software that are actually educating, not just entertaining. I have been involved in a European game development project as well as other, smaller projects throughout the world. Though my background is computer science, I have a complement of skills of both software engineering and digital graphic artistry, allowing me to envision game development from multiple perspectives.

I am currently working in Denpasar, Bali.
