What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a gameplay-focused role where I can build Roblox systems end-to-end—characters, cameras, UI, and player feedback loops—while collaborating closely with producers and QA to ship reliable, polished experiences.

I’m a Roblox gameplay engineer with 1 year of significant game development experience, plus 6+ years building games independently. I use Roblox Studio to deliver character controllers, camera systems, creature behavior, motion/animation, and UI layouts that work across PC, Mobile, and Consoles.

I also bring broader technical range—Godot (GDscript), Java (including Minecraft plugins via IntelliJ IDEA + Gradle), and SQL/SQLite for gameplay data. In both production and volunteer work, I improve player experience through playtesting, hot/cold fixes, JIRA workflow upgrades, and fast feedback loops with communities and teams.
