About Me

/ Elin Persson

I’m a Game Programmer and Technical Level Designer with a passion for blending technology and creativity. With expertise in Unity and Unreal Engine, my main programming language is C#, but I have also worked on projects using C++, Blueprints and Fortnite’s own scripting language, Verse. I thrive on challenges and pick up new technologies quickly, always eager to push the boundaries of what’s possible in game development.

Beyond coding, my artistic background gives me a unique advantage in game creation. My skill set extends to 3D asset creation in Blender and 2D assets, art and film, using tools like Photoshop, After Effects, InDesign, and Premiere Pro, allowing me to contribute to both the technical and visual aspects of a project.

Currently, I apply my technical expertise and strong social skills in my role as CEO and Business Development Manager at Imperial Playgrounds, where I connect creative vision with industry strategy. Whether coding, designing, or building partnerships, I am driven by the thrill of turning ideas into reality.

If you want to build something extraordinary together don’t hesitate to contact me!
