I'm a Gameplay Programmer and Gameplay Designer with hands-on experience building gameplay systems and prototypes in Unity and Unreal Engine 5 through academic projects and personal game developments. I enjoy turning gameplay ideas into solid, testable features, from stamina and health systems to interactive pickups and respawn logic. I'm proficient with C#, C++, debugging, performance optimization, OOP, UI systems, and iterative problem-solving. I’ve implemented player mechanics, balance iterations, and UI feedback while collaborating with teammates and managing version control with Git and GitHub.
