About Me

Hey, my name is Michał Ogiński, and I'm an Unreal Engine Programmer. I write most of my code in C++, but I am still familiar with scripting in Blueprints.

Throughout my recent work, I have mainly focused on Gameplay, UI and Systems Programming with a fair bit in AI and Level Design. I have good knowledge of Gameplay Ability System and networking in Unreal, recently i starterd my quest to create a big game in my favourite genre which is Top Down Action RPG.

Work & Education

At Anshar Studios, I focus on the technical aspects of Quality Assurance. My responsibilities include performance measurements using Unreal Engine's developer tools, verifying lighting and analyzing bug cases in Unreal Editor, and testing animations with Unreal Insights. I also prepare builds for the QA team using Jenkins, analyze crash dumps with Visual Studio, and work with various scripts and tools to streamline daily tasks.

As an FQA Tester at Keywords Studios, I focused on functionality and regression testing, ensuring game stability and performance. I also provided detailed feedback to developers. I contributed to projects such as Tchia, Harold Halibut and Immortals of Aveum.

At the University of Silesia, I developed a strong foundation in game development, programming, and AI. My thesis focused on rewarding players through game design decisions and scalable algorithms. I drew my inspiration from Diablo 2 and Path of Exile to balance player satisfaction and progression. I graduated with distinction.
