About

I’m a Senior Gameplay Programmer with over six years of experience building complex gameplay systems in Unreal Engine using C++. I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, including a competitive racing game, a networked battle royale, a systems-heavy roguelike, and a strategic deck-building title. I specialize in multiplayer architecture, GAS-driven ability systems, responsive combat mechanics, and scalable gameplay frameworks. I focus on delivering clean, maintainable, and production-ready code that brings design visions to life while optimizing performance and creating engaging player experiences.
