Saman Razavi
Founder & CEO of GoraGames
Saman Razavi founded GoraGames in 2012 and leads the studio as CEO. The first game, MicroRacer, ran on a custom engine in OpenGL ES. Working with the Unreal Engine since 2014, Saman is proficient in 7 programming languages and has created and published Unreal Engine assets, plugins and components in C++.
As a lecturer, Saman teaches Unreal Engine for Game Programmers and Game Artists at the School of Games in Cologne and, since April 2024, at the Media University of Applied Sciences, with a focus on clean programming and Unreal Engine best practices.
Together with the GoraGames team, Saman oversees Unreal Engine projects for clients and supports other studios as a consultant. Planning an Unreal Engine project? Talk to us.
