Work Experience

Solo developer - Pl@gue game (Unity/C#) at Self-directed project
January 1, 2021 - Present
Currently developing Pl@gue, a Unity game coded in C# with a retro-tech aesthetic. The game concept evolved into solo development from an initial team effort. Planned final direction: a movement-focused first-person hack-and-slash roguelike with a virus-on-a-neural-network premise. Enemies are themed as antivirus programs, and failure is designed to permanently strengthen the player over the long term until the game is beaten.
Developer - Carbo Hero iOS insulin calculator app (team project) at Student team project
January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2025
Built Carbo Hero, a Swift-based iOS app intended primarily for ease of use for elderly users rather than full medical accuracy. Implemented large buttons and simplified interactions, with animations tuned for accessibility. Added a 'doctor mode' concept to support caregiving workflows. Due to unavailable clinical data, the insulin calculations were not fully medically accurate, but the UX design performed well in user tests and earned selection to present at ASEAN delegates. Worked in a 5-person team with shared coding and design responsibilities.
Advanced Research Project (ARP) - Game development at NUS High School of Math & Science
January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2025
Developed an Unreal Engine (Blueprints) strategy game concept for an ARP. Daniel led backend code, models, and most frontend code, while teammates handled UI media assets and additional implementation work. Co-designed mechanics: turn-based simultaneous planning and execution where predicting the opponent’s moves is central. Implemented core features including unit spawning, LAN-based multiplayer, multiple troops, game balancing, troop movement, and troop attacking. Scope constraints prevented adding every planned feature due to late discovery of timeline limitations.
