Gameplay and AI Systems Engineer with professional experience shipping AI in Unreal Engine 5. Part of the team that shipped Beyond Sandbox, a live multiplayer VR title, where I owned the AI architecture from design through release. I focus on encounter systems and tactical AI that give designers real control and give players a genuine challenge. Alongside my engineering work I teach game development professionally, and I think about player experience as a core part of every system I build, not an afterthought.
