CanadaWhat I'm looking for
At Toonrush Inc., I developed Unity gameplay and player-facing systems in C# for Zodiac Attack, spanning customization, UI, emotes, shops, and a custom day/night system. I also optimized the mobile project from approximately 5 GB to under 1 GB using texture atlasing, LODs, billboard assets, and scripted asset optimization.
I've built VR educational and horror experiences for Meta Quest 3 and desktop at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University Production Studio. My work includes locomotion, interactive learning systems, shaders, motion-capture integration, level assembly, and resolving VR performance, physics, interaction, and usability issues.
As a solo developer on Slime Mechs!, I built a 3D third-person game in Unity in four months, including procedural level generation, combat, enemies, bosses, animation integration, and level design.
