What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team building immersive games where I can ship multiplayer and VR gameplay, collaborate with designers, and improve systems end-to-end—coding in Unreal/Unity, iterating with feedback, and learning best practices fast.

I’m an Unreal Engine 5 intern and game development professional focused on building immersive, player-driven experiences—especially multiplayer interactions and responsive gameplay. At Lasting Light Studio, I collaborate remotely to implement multiplayer mechanics in Unreal Engine 5, including grenade-throwing systems, and I generate AI-driven 3D assets using Tencent’s Hunyuan 3D and MidJourney to enhance dynamic game environments.

Alongside development work, I strengthen learning and production through teaching and leadership. As a Graduate Teaching & Research Assistant and Instructor, I guided students in Unreal Engine 5 topics like modeling, texturing, lighting, programming, scripting, and source control, and I supported a web-based game project using C# and Unity. Previously, as a Lead Prototype Developer, I directed VR gamification design and development in Unity, managing a cross-functional team to deliver a VR Museum Experience on schedule while using UI/UX research to measurably improve task completion, engagement, and clarity.
