Game and software engineer with a BSc in Applied Computer Science (Game Development, BCIT) and ~3 years of industry experience. I specialize in gameplay systems, C++ and C# engine work, and shipping games end-to-end across solo and team projects. I've built combat, AI, and turn-based systems from scratch, including in a solo-developed custom C++17 ECS engine (SyrupSaga) and shipped Unity titles in team and jam settings. I'm also an avid board game player, so translating tabletop design into digital systems is something I think about naturally. Currently looking for gameplay engineering roles where I can build systems that are fun, robust, and designed to scale.
