I'm Maries — a curious builder who loves crafting immersive games and LLM-powered experiences. Over the last 6+ years I've worn many hats across Java-centric backends, shaders, and playful UIs, and I still get that 🧠✨ spark when solving tricky problems.
Currently: prototyping cozy core mechanics for a Jam entry while mentoring two new devs on building LLM copilots for creative tooling.
- 🏆 Led a 48-hour mini GameJam team to ship a puzzle-platformer featuring real-time weather-driven shaders and adaptive music cues.
- 🧩 Built a reusable Jam starter kit (scene loader, input maps, dialogue DSL) so we iterate on mechanics instead of boilerplate.
- 🎨 Obsessed with polish: cinematic camera sweeps, juicy particle accents, and accessibility toggles make every entry shine.
- ☕ Java & Kotlin for gameplay services and live ops tooling
- 🐍 Python for LLM agents, prompt pipelines, and evaluation harnesses
- 🕹️ Unity, Godot, and bespoke engines for tactile interactions
- ☁️ AWS/GCP for scalable scoring boards and Jam backend infra
