I create player-focused game systems and interfaces in Unreal Engine 5 and C++. From modular HUDs and interactive menus to AI behaviors and save/load systems, I design features that are both robust and polished. With hands-on experience building capstone and team projects, I collaborate closely with designers and artists to deliver seamless, intuitive gameplay experiences.
Case studies with short write-ups. Each card links to details, code, or builds if available.
A robust slot-based save system with rename flow, date/time metadata, and cross-level persistence. Rebuilt from Blueprint to pure C++ for stability and debug visibility.
Rapid-development Unreal Engine project focused on stabilizing gameplay, rebuilding a broken PlayerController in C++, and implementing a state-driven architecture under game-jam constraints.
A classic 2D roguelike focused on turn-based movement, procedural dungeon generation, deterministic enemy AI, and resource-driven survival mechanics.
Seeking 1–3 2D artists to help shape a procedurally generated roguelike. Wizards, winding paths, mushrooms, crystals, and systems-driven design.
Father, builder, and lifelong learner—transitioning from the labor industry to technology through formal education and self-teaching.
I specialize in turning feature ideas into reliable, testable systems players actually feel—HUDs, menus, persistence, and input/UI flows. I’m comfortable hopping between C++ gameplay code and UMG/UX polish, collaborating with teams to deliver polished player experiences.
