Work Experience

Advanced Gameplay & Motion Systems at Self-Employed / Unreal Engine Developer

January 1, 2023 - Present

Developed a modular Parkour and Mobility system featuring climbing, vaulting, and procedural landings using Motion Matching and root motion. Architected a Grappling and Swinging system based on procedural physics, constraints, and ragdoll transitions. Implemented comprehensive character movement (walking, crouching, rolling) ensuring fluid synchronization between game logic and animations.

Advanced Animation & Cinematic Engineering at Self-Employed / Unreal Engine Developer

January 1, 2024 - January 1, 2026

Engineered end-to-end animation workflows from Skeletal Mesh preparation to custom Control Rig and IK Rig development, enabling procedural and dynamic character movements. Implemented advanced animation logic using Animation Blueprints, State Machines, and Motion Matching, integrated with C++ and Blueprints to ensure seamless synchronization between logic and visual performance. Developed complex Animation Montages and Level Sequences using the Sequencer tool, prioritizing modularity and performance optimization for scalable, high-fidelity production environments.

AI & NPC Systems Engineering at Self-Employed / Unreal Engine Developer

January 1, 2024 - Present

Designed a centralized procedural AI system for NPCs, managing complex decision-making through Behavior Trees and Blackboards. Integrated AI Perception and NavMesh systems to create reactive behaviors, including dynamic roles and environmental interactions. Optimized AI logic for performance scalability, allowing multiple actors to operate simultaneously without frame-rate degradation.

Multiplayer Systems & Network Optimization at Self-Employed / Unreal Engine Developer

January 1, 2024 - Present

Efficient Replication Architecture: Implemented Simple Replication systems to manage internal server statistics (player levels, experience points, and progression logic) that do not require immediate client visibility, optimizing network traffic. Visual Consistency via RepNotify: Developed reactive systems to ensure global world coherence using RepNotify to synchronize weather changes, buff/debuff states, and critical real-time UI updates such as health bars. Network Relevancy Management: Optimized server load by configuring Net Cull Distance, limiting actor replication exclusively to the player’s visual range. Network Saturation Control: Adjusted Net Update Frequency for distant or low-priority objects, drastically reducing bandwidth consumption without compromising gameplay integrity.

Combat & Interactive Systems at Self-Employed / Unreal Engine Developer

January 1, 2023 - January 1, 2026

Built a robust Combat System supporting melee (combos, parries, blocks) and ranged (projectile/trace-based) mechanics. Developed a Universal Interaction Component for seamless actor-to-environment triggers and manageable interactive objects. Created a Dynamic Building System with real-time UI feedback, utilizing Level Instances and Chaos physics.

UI & Performance Optimization at Self-Employed / Unreal Engine Developer

January 1, 2023 - January 1, 2025

Designed intuitive HUDs and Menus using UMG (Widget Blueprints) and C++ (Slate) with data-driven architecture via Data Assets. Conducted regular Profiling and Debugging using Unreal Insights and native commands (stat unit, gpu, game) to identify and fix bottlenecks. Automated workflows by developing Editor Utility Widgets, increasing team productivity in level management and simulation.
