Welcome! I am

Terry Keyrouz

Game Programmer & Full-Stack Engineer

I’m a game developer and full-stack engineer with a strong focus on building immersive systems, from fast-paced multiplayer mechanics in Unreal Engine to scalable backend platforms with .NET and Azure.

My journey started in Lebanon, where I ranked second nationally in IT before moving to Portugal to study Games and Apps Development at IADE. One of the highlights of that period was Mizukura: A Tail of Hope, a game I developed that earned a Game of the Year nomination from PlayStation Talents. I completed my degree with an Erasmus semester at the University of Bradford, graduating top of my class in Computer Science.

Since then, I’ve worked with studios across Europe and the US on FPS games, VR/AR experiences, and enterprise web apps. I’m fluent in C++, C#, and JavaScript, but C++ will always be my first love. I enjoy solving tough problems, writing clean systems, and collaborating with creative teams to bring great ideas to life.

I’m always learning, always building, and always ready for the next challenge.
