• Programmed gameplay, UI, and player data systems in C# within a complex game based on a hybrid ECS
architecture.
• Architected a modular and extendible system for managing collectible, categorized parts of a "space truck" feature.
• Implemented an experimental occlusion and lighting algorithm in HDRP based on GTAO, AMD CACAO, and SSDO to improve quality and performance over the Unity built-in solution.

Fera: The Sundered Tribes
Rendering, optimization, and gameplay programming
on a third-person multiplayer open world action UE5 RPG.
Comes with a wingsuit and a grappling hook, obviously.

• Examined undocumented areas of a large codebase to resolve major physics errors and achieved a ~25%
CPU time decrease.
• Reacted to rapidly fluctuating CPU, GPU, and load time performance issues based on data from Unreal Insights, Pix, and RenderDoc.
• Provided notes for common optimization pitfalls for the performance section of an Unreal Fest 2024 presentation.
• Developed compute shaders for world interactions and effects based on 3D render targets that leverage GPU parallelism to accommodate a large, vertical open world in under 0.1ms each.

• Building a dynamic, open world populated with thousands of interactable and destructible objects placed with PCG and managed by efficient, semi-parallelized Subsystems.
• Making heavy usage of Subsystems to maintain modular, extendible, and game-agnostic architecture.
• Generating original assets and modifying existing assets to fit a unique, alien aesthetic.
