What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and innovation in game development, where I can collaborate with a passionate team and contribute to exciting projects.

As a Gameplay Programmer, I am fueled by my boundless enthusiasm for the gaming world and a passion for innovation. My expertise lies in Unreal Engine, where I dedicate myself to crafting unforgettable gaming experiences. I thrive on the challenge of developing engaging gameplay mechanics and ensuring that every aspect of a game is polished and enjoyable for players. With a knack for problem-solving, I approach even the most complex debugging tasks with a sense of fun and creativity.

Currently, I am working as a UE5 Gameplay Programmer at RedCatPig, where I am involved in developing a Multiplayer Top Down RPG game called Aura. My role allows me to explore Unreal Engine 5's Gameplay Ability System and Enhanced Inputs, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in interactive entertainment. Previously, I contributed to the success of Star Atlas by streamlining race logic and implementing robust backend systems, ensuring a seamless marketplace experience.
