Gameplay Programmer

> About Me_

Background

I'm a Game Programmer with a passion for creating immersive systems that blend technical depth with creative expression. With a degree in computer science and 7 years of experience in Unreal Engine, I bring a versatile and performance focused mindset to every project. My foundation in C++ and Blueprints equips me to tackle challenges at both the gameplay and systems level.

Interests

When I am not programming, you can often find me playing games, or creating music. For the past 6 years, I have worked as a producer and songwriter and worked with some notable artists in both rock and metal music. A few of my favorite games are Kenshi, Counter-Strike, Rimworld, Dark and Darker, and Smite.

> Skills & Tools_

Unreal Engine 5

This is my game engine of choice. I started with UE 4.20 and have stuck with it ever since. I have a strong understanding of it's core systems such as Blueprints, Material Graphs, Gameplay Framework, Modules, Replication, and the Asset Manager.

Scripting & Logic

Within Unreal Engine 5, I have a strong understanding of both C++ and Blueprints. I have extensive experience creating new or exposing existing C++ systems to Blueprints for artists and game designers.

Gameplay Systems

I have produced a variety of gameplay systems for clients, the Unreal Engine Marketplace (now FAB), and my own personal use. This includes systems for Pathfinding, Inventories, Health, Level Generation, Player Interaction, Projectiles, and various Editor Tools.
