Description

Hi, I’m Abdoulaye. I work as a freelance Producer and QA specialist with a background in Game Design and Creative Coding. In short, I help creative teams stay organized, deliver projects on time, and avoid the classic “we’ll fix it later” trap.

I’ve worked with small indie teams and on AAA titles, which taught me how to balance creativity with structure. From prototyping in Unity to running playtests and writing clear documentation, I know how to keep things moving without killing the fun.

What motivates me most is building bridges between developers and players, and making sure communities feel welcoming. If you need someone reliable, curious and a bit too passionate about sticky notes and checklists, I’m your guy!
