Can Mert Bozkurt
Welcome! I am Can, an experienced game developer currently working at Ubisoft Berlin as a Senior UI Programmer. I am an expert on building user interfaces for games.
Working on UI means working on every aspect of a game, and I take pride in building robust structures that are adaptable, extendable and performant.
What I Do
UI Programming
I have extensive experience developing user interfaces for games, ranging from small advergames to an MMO.
Game Studies
I have an M.A. on Game Development & Research from Cologne Game Lab and I enjoy using and expanding my academic knowledge in my work. This helps me support my co-workers to make informed decisions on game design and UX problems.
Tools Programming
I'm skilled in making tools and similar game extensions using WinForms, WPF or just plain system shell.
Software Architecture
I pride myself with building robust codebases that are intuitive and self documenting. I have worked on multiple GaaS titles that received regular updates over their long lifetimes.
