## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m seeking an Unreal Engine programming role focused on high-performance C++ systems, AI and multiplayer in a collaborative studio that values iteration, optimization, and opportunities to take on technical ownership.
```

## About

```text
I am a game and engine programmer focused on building high-performance, reliable systems with Unreal Engine and C++. I have shipped and prototyped gameplay, AI, and networking systems while working closely with designers and technical artists to accelerate iteration.

At my current role I enhanced an MVVM framework, exposed features to Blueprints, and developed debugging modules that handle thousands of actors while profiling and optimizing a real-time demo to a stable 60 FPS. I have engineered scalable save/load, objectives, and modular settings systems exposed to designers through Blueprints.

My internship and research work spans AI, perception, and robotics: I implemented AI systems using State Trees, advanced perception cues, vehicle AI, and full C++ scope for an RTS demo. In research I built a Mediapipe-based C++ pipeline for hand tracking, a C++ interface to control KUKA robots, and a Unity-based visual debugger to validate tracking and motion primitives.

I bring practical experience with multiplayer (Online Subsystem, lag compensation, server-side rewind), low-level graphics and tools (DirectX12, shaders, post-processing), and cross-disciplinary tooling (.NET/XAML front-ends, Rhino simulations). I am motivated to join teams that value performance, iterative design, and shipping polished real-time experiences.
