Professional Profile

Alper Gunes

Software Developer | Unreal Engine, XR and Interactive Applications

I am a UK-based software developer with six years of professional experience in interactive software, game development, virtual reality and extended reality applications. Since 2020, I have delivered work for UK and international clients across education, energy, architecture, entertainment and industrial technology.

I provide contract software-development services through my limited company, Ludologin Limited. Through the company, I undertake client projects, deliver agreed technical work and provide continuing development and support services.

My work covers the full development lifecycle, including requirements analysis, prototyping, implementation, integration, optimisation, testing, deployment and ongoing technical support. I work primarily with Unreal Engine, C++, C#, Kotlin and Android, and I have additional experience with cloud services, databases, real-time communications and content-delivery systems.
