What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable gameplay, interaction, VR, or multiplayer systems in Unreal Engine while collaborating closely with designers, artists, and engineers.

I’m a Gameplay Programmer with 4+ years of professional experience working primarily with C++ and Unreal Engine 4/5. Most recently, I worked at Saber Interactive on Fortnite initiatives, collaborating closely with Epic Games and cross-disciplinary teams to develop features, solve gameplay and physics issues, and support existing systems.

Previously, I led programming through release at LEAP Game Studio on an Epic MegaGrant and Peru National Game Development Contest award-winning title, building gameplay, player interaction, sandbox, save/load, UI, and performance systems while mentoring junior programmers.

My main interests are gameplay systems, architecture, performance, and deeper Unreal Engine development. I enjoy solving technical problems while keeping systems clean, maintainable, and extensible.
