Develop Unreal Engine 5 scenes and prototype concepts with iterative, test-driven learning. Set up levels and organize assets while experimenting with cameras, lighting, and materials to improve readability and player experience. Explore Blueprint foundations by building small interaction logic and repeatedly testing changes to identify problems in layout, timing, usability, and presentation. Apply a QA mindset by observing gameplay flow, recreating issues, and evaluating what feels clear and responsive from a player perspective.

Edit long-form gaming videos, short-form clips, and music videos using Adobe Premiere Pro. Build edits for audience retention by focusing on pacing, timing, audio/video sync, reaction moments, and visual clarity. Create music video edits by matching cuts and transitions to song structure and visual energy. Capture gameplay and facecam using OBS Studio, PS5 Pro workflows, and Elgato capture hardware, while routing external audio with separate sources. Produce YouTube assets including thumbnails, titles, descriptions, playlists, and end screens, then improve future edits using analytics such as CTR, impressions, watch time, and retention. Troubleshoot capture/export issues across settings, file formats, encoding, and editing timelines.
