About Me

My name is Wutipong Wongsakuldej, or Wutt in short. My nickname is Noom, so a lot of people know me by that name. I’m a software developer based in Thailand. I’m currently a freelancer, working on smaller projects, and providing consultations occasionally.

My interest is in the area of game development. I know a little bit of Unreal Engine, and Unity 3D. Most of the games I was working on was however in custom in-house engines, as they are way before both mentioned engines are available at an effordable price. I was working for financial technology for a decade, so I know a little bit about those money maths. I also have experiences in web application (fullstack), Android application, UWP application, etc.

I also participate in game developer community. I manage Game Developer Virtual Meetup (GDVM) and Thailand Game Audio Interest Group (TGAIG). I’m also helping with the team at Game Developer Gather Bangkok, and granted a title of Bangkok Chapter’s Community Organizer by Epic Games/Unreal Engine.
