About Me
I build fun, robust, highly configurable, and maintainable gameplay systems with either UE5 C++ or Unity C# in close collaboration with all disciplines on my team. I'm particularly experienced with networked player character movement via customization of Unreal Engine's predictive movement system. After 10 years of software engineering (mostly with C#) outside of games culminated in a manager position, I used my 8+ years of hobbyist experience with Flash and Unity in myriad game jams and personal projects to pivot into professional game development. Now I get to focus entirely on the pursuit of my passion: making awesome, immersive games.
