About Me

Hi, I’m Daniel Brooks, a dedicated game designer and QA analyst with a Master’s degree in Computer Game Design. I bring hands-on experience in game design, level design, system prototyping, Blueprint visual scripting, and quality assurance testing using industry-standard tools such as Unreal Engine 4 and 5, JIRA, and Azure DevOps. Skilled in gameplay mechanics development, bug tracking, testing strategies, and collaboration within Agile development teams, I am eager to contribute my technical expertise and passion for gaming to a dynamic and innovative studio.

I have contributed to multiple game projects, designing levels, building engaging mechanics, and producing detailed design documentation. My technical background includes scripting in Python and C#, and I’m comfortable working across both creative and technical disciplines. I’m also experienced with Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and have foundational skills in 3D modelling with 3DS Max and Blender.

I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy sharing knowledge within the Unreal Engine community through social media and development groups. My QA work has sharpened my attention to detail and ability to manage testing pipelines effectively, supporting teams in delivering high-quality games on time using tools like JIRA and Azure DevOps.

Driven by a lifelong passion for gaming, I’m eager to join a dynamic studio where I can apply my combined skills in design and QA to create immersive, polished gaming experiences. I’m ready to contribute, learn, and help build memorable worlds that players love.
