What Drives Me
Constantly Learning
I’m driven by a passion for learning, consistently honing my skills over 7 years with a focus on C, C++, and C#, and delivering projects in Unity and Unreal.
Key Projects
Built a real-time lighting engine and a sophisticated chess AI, pushing my technical limits.
Committed to Quality
I’m dedicated to delivering high-quality work across personal projects and critical assignments.
Team Player
I thrive in team environments, collaborating with peers to develop effective solutions.
Refraction
Refraction is a short game about solving laser puzzles with mirrors. My main job on the project was to make the real-time lighting engine complete with shadow casting and normal maps.
Antiviral
AntiViral is a small game about guiding a computer virus into the trash bin. I implemented the BOIDS flocking algorithm and helped write the custom game engine.
Drag N' Bag
Drag n' Bag is a fast-paced game about bagging groceries for increasingly impatient customers. For this project I made the core gameplay systems and designed/implemented the UI/UX.
