Looking for a job as a Gameplay/Animation/Network/AI/Physics Game Programmer

Hi There!

Hi, my name is Gabriel Rassoul and I'm a software engineer specialized in game development. Here you can view my professional and personal projects that I do in my free time, my skills, where I studied and my hobbies.

You can also find my github repositories here.
(you won't see my modified version of UE4 if you are unable to see UE4 source code, click here to learn how to)

I am currently looking for a job as gameplay, animation, network, ai or physics game programmer as soon as possible. I am also looking forward to learn more about physics (Fluid Dynamics, etc.), online multiplayer networking (lag compensation, etc.) and AI programming in video games.

Do not hesitate to contact me about job opportunities, projects I have worked on or am still working on, code samples request or anything else.
