Ellie Kelemen
Software Engineer, Technical Director, Maker
I'm a game & software developer with a deep love for technical design.
I graduated with a Masters degree in Computer Science from the University of Exeter in the summer of 2025. Alongside my studies, I worked part-time as a VR & AI developer at Orbital Media, where I built VR applications for healthcare, and engineered generative AI video solutions for use in interactive educational content. In my spare time, I build & maintain an open-source plugin called FPS Core and work on a multiplayer game called Warbound.
Previously, I've worked as a frontend developer at Hatless Studios, where I built advanced frontends with the React framework. I've also interned at MADFINGER Games, where I worked as a QA tester on Shadowgun Legends.
In my spare time, you can probably find me on a mountain somewhere, hiking!
