Julia Isaksson
Why Work with Me
Problem-Solving Mindset
I build efficient, scalable solutions by breaking down complex problems into clean, maintainable code.
Clean & Scalable Code
I write structured, readable, and scalable code that makes collaboration easier and future updates smoother.
Performance & Modern Tech
I use modern frameworks and best practices to build fast, secure, and reliable applications.
Projects
Level Up Life is an Android app I designed and developed independently in Unity using C#. It turns personal growth into an RPG-inspired experience, where users can create skills based on real-life interests, track their training time, complete challenges, earn XP, level up, and build streaks.
I have worked across the entire development process, including designing progression systems, building the UI, implementing persistent save data, creating automated tests, developing onboarding, and preparing the application for release on Google Play.
The project has given me valuable practical experience in C#, software architecture, debugging, testing, and UI development, while challenging me to think beyond individual features and build a complete application with real users in mind.
My Creative Workflow
1. Concept & Prototyping
I define the core gameplay loop and quickly build prototypes to test mechanics. Early iteration ensures the game is fun, responsive, and technically feasible before full production begins.
2. Systems & Gameplay Development
I design and implement core systems such as player controllers, enemy behavior, physics interactions, and game state management. My focus is clean architecture and scalable code.
3. Optimization & Polish
I optimize performance, memory usage, and frame rate stability. From collision systems to rendering efficiency, I ensure smooth gameplay across target platforms.
4. Testing & Deployment
I debug edge cases, refine mechanics through playtesting, and prepare stable builds for release. Post-launch, I monitor performance and deliver updates when needed.
From Player to Developer
Hi, I’m Julia — a game programmer with a strong passion for interactive systems and gameplay development.
Currently, I work part-time at Axis while also taking courses to continuing to develop my programming skills and expand my technical expertise.
Outside of work, I’m an active gamer on both PC and Nintendo Switch. I’m also passionate about anime, Dungeons & Dragons, cosplay, Jujitsu, and spending time outdoors. These interests fuel my creativity and strengthen my collaborative and strategic mindset — qualities I bring into my development work.
