Aspiring game developer with a focus on innovative gameplay mechanics.
What I'm looking for
I'm a passionate computer science student at the University of British Columbia, currently engaged in game development and robotics. My journey began with the MEF Thunders Robotics Club, where I played a pivotal role in designing and building a competition-ready robot. Participating in the FIRST Robotics Competition allowed me to hone my teamwork and strategic thinking skills, as I collaborated with my peers to refine our game tactics and improve our performance.
In addition to robotics, I am actively involved in the UBC Game Dev Club, where I contribute to the development of engaging narratives and gameplay mechanics. My recent project, Umbra, showcases my ability to implement complex enemy mechanics using the Godot engine. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with designers and programmers to create cohesive and immersive gaming experiences.
