Hey, I'm Konstantinos Egkarchos

Konstantinos Egkarchos

I'm a multi-disciplinary software engineer based in Athens, Greece. I have been making games for 14 years, 11 of which using the Unity game engine, that have been downloaded by millions of players. My expertise is gameplay, and I'm passionate about understanding how various games work, the design and the process of implementation. I also enjoy working on AR, VR, game AI, and optimisation. Being a great fan of writing clean and robust code I have an expert understanding of design patterns and pair programming and I always enjoy writing and receiving a code review. I'm enthusiastic about game jams. I have attended the Global Game Jam in Athens every year in which I take the opportunity to meet and help other teams while I try to learn new ways of making games. I am also an active member and volunteer for various roles in the Game Developers Association of Greece, growing the game industry in Greece and helping people with the bureaucracy of being a freelancer. Finally, I'm tech-savvy. I don't go anywhere without measuring my heart rate, sleep patterns, and the distance I've travelled. I enjoy talking to computers and might have made a robot or two with Raspberry Pi.
