What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end gameplay/tech-art systems—collaborating with designers—using Unreal Engine and Unity to ship polished mechanics, AI, UI, save/load, and tooling.

I’m a Technical Artist / Gameplay Programmer with experience taking game projects from concept to shipped product, both independently and in team settings. I build functional, scalable gameplay systems and I enjoy solving hard problems with full ownership of the systems I create.

My work bridges creative and technical teams: I understand the production pipeline while engineering gameplay mechanics. I build in Unity (C#) and Unreal Engine (Blueprints, C++), covering mechanics, AI behaviors, UI, inventory, save/load, and audio integration.

On a competitive game jam project (Unreal Engine 5), I implemented all gameplay systems using Blueprints and C++, delivering a fully playable game within tight time constraints. I engineered a blended physics-and-grid movement mechanic, built a snapshot/screenshot mechanic with render target capture and UI feedback, and prototyped an AI-powered image comparison scoring system beyond the brief.

In an academic solo gameplay project, I designed and built a multi-tier AI difficulty system (easy, medium, hard) where enemy behaviors adapt dynamically. I also contributed as a 3D artist and animator, handling the full asset pipeline from modeling and rigging through Unity integration so animations respond correctly to gameplay state transitions.
