What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply systems-level C++ work—compilers, networking, and engine technology—while contributing to open source and shipping end-to-end solutions with strong engineering practices and room to grow.

I’m a recent graduate in Video Game Development, focused on systems programming in C++. I’ve built modular engine architecture, graphics abstraction layers, and memory/performance-conscious components that let me ship complete, playable experiences under strict time constraints.

My engineering instincts show up in tooling and language work: I built a full compiler pipeline (lexer, parser, AST construction, and semantic analysis) from scratch, including structured error handling. I also created a client-server networking layer with real-time event synchronization, designed to work reliably as systems grow.

On the graphics and gameplay side, I’ve implemented deferred rendering pipelines and HLSL shaders, and used math/numerical simulation to support engine systems. I’ve also integrated AI features by implementing pathfinding and wiring NavMesh and Behavior Tree systems in both Unity (C#) and Unreal Engine (C++).

I enjoy self-directed delivery—across four Global Game Jam entries, I’ve worked independently and in small teams from concept to finished builds. I’m excited to bring that same systems-level curiosity and end-to-end execution to Ubuntu’s open source engineering organization.
