    Gameplay + Network Programmer - EverythingMart

    Unity, C# | August 2025 - Present

    Horror/comedy online co-op game set in an otherworldly supermarket. Complete your tasks and avoid the monsters!

    • Architected multiplayer layer in Unity using FishNet, synchronizing gameplay state across clients and integrating features into the network graph.
    • Used Unity Relay for peer hosting. Improved physics responsiveness via targeted network authority transfers to reduce perceived input latency for physics-driven objects.
    • Developed gameplay systems including proximity voice chat (Vivox), enemy AI, SFX, and a drift-style shopping cart controller.
    Gameplay Programmer - Udon Uncaged

    Unity, C#, Arduino | January 2025 - April 2025, March 2026

    An “Alt Control” game where you roll around in a giant hamster ball to steer an in-game hamster.

    • Designed a modular publish/subscribe event-chaining system enabling designers to compose multi-step sequences across decoupled event handlers.
    • Built a character controller supporting multiple locomotion modes (standard, drift, aerial) and tuned it iteratively with the design team.
    • Programmed Arduino firmware to read treadmill roll data and pipe it into Unity via Ardity, creating a hardware-native input pipeline.
    • Featured in GDC 2026’s “alt.ctrl” exhibition.
