About Me
I am a Senior Gameplay Engineer with 13+ years of software development experience and 6+ years of experience working directly on games and interactive applications. My primary expertise is Unity and C#, with additional professional experience in Godot, C++, GDScript, Python and JavaScript.
My experience includes gameplay and game systems, networked multiplayer, authoritative dedicated servers, game AI, VR, physics, procedural generation and performance optimization. I have also worked as a project/technical lead, reviewing code and coordinating the work of other programmers.
Professional Gameplay Engineering Work
Projects that I worked on for clients as a contractor and launched by them
Exosky (Named YesPlane at the time)
- Client: Elevons, LLC
- Role: Lead Dev
- Objective: Create a realistic flight simulation that is performant and as close to real life as possible
- Delivered: Created a flight simulation in Unity that is easy for the client to extend. Easy to mod by players and worked with more than 16 planes at the same time at more than 60 FPS on a 4th generation core i5 CPU (a CPU from 2013).
Aerodynamics, Physics Programming & Engine Optimization
- Implemented and refined the core flight-simulation equations together with a flight engineer.
- Managed the git repository and reviewed code from 3 other programmers to ensure code quality was maintained and functional.
- Integrated F-MOD into the game for better SFX in general
- Created a modding system that allowed users to edit and add completely custom airplanes into the game, without the need to even restart the game.
Where to Play
Advergame
- Client: Marrow Tap
- Role: Lead Dev
- Game Engine: Unity
- Coding Language: C#
- Objective: Create an advergame for a musician album under 3 weeks.
- Delivered: Created an action platformer using Corgi Engine.
State Machine Architecture & Modular AI Systems
- Managed the git repository and reviewed code from 5 other programmers to ensure code quality was maintained and functional.
- Managed and reviewed tasks related to coding.
- Created AI for bosses and enemies.
- Imported and implemented animations made by artists.
- Created an iPhone build without a Mac device, created purely with GitHub Actions using Fastly (to handle code signage) and the MacOs hosted runner.
Where to Play
Gameplay Prototypes
Projects that I worked on very specific things but are not full games
Multiplayer Building Game
- Client: Daek
- Role: Developer

Server-Authoritative Netcode & NPC Decision Trees
- Created a multiplayer system where multiple people could build in the same town.
- Made a voting system where players could vote on what the NPCs would prioritize in building and doing.
- Created a building system where players could place buildings if the town had the available resources in storage buildings.
- Created an AI system where NPCs could automatically pathfind where resources are stored and moved to where they could build.
- Used LimboAI to make a decision tree where NPCs controlled themselves based on the priority system.
- Created a full authoritative dedicated server made with C# and JavaScript with database access.
