I, Yasir Yazıcı, am a Game Developer living in München, Germany. While most of my professional experiences are based on Unity 3D, I have worked on various different projects like creating 3D Game Engine based on XNA. 

My Bachelor's Degree is from Hacettepe University Statistics but my job has always been programming even at the years I was studying. My passion to programming and video games made me improve myself at these topics at the early years of my under-graduate education. Developing flash games, mobile games, making experiments on shaders or physics were some of these steps. 

Currently I am working at Aesir Technologies as a Unity Game Developer and studying at METU Game Technologies to earn a master degree. You can download the shortened pdf version of my CV from the button below or scroll down more for the see it online.
