Ellie Kelemen
Software Engineer, Technical Director, Maker
I'm a game & software developer with a deep love for technical design.
Currently, I'm in the final year of my Masters degree in Computer Science at the University of Exeter. Alongside my studies, I work part-time as a VR & AI developer at Orbital Media, where I build VR applications for healthcare, and engineer generative AI video solutions for use in interactive educational content. I also build & maintain an open-source plugin called FPS Core, which 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!
