• Unreal 4 to 5 migration using C++20 and blueprints to build an open-world driving simulation game
• Over 50k lines of C++ code in over a dozen game modules in the architecture
• Vehicle control system for AI vehicles
• Perception, custom pathfinding, avoidance, road spline systems, and behavior trees to implement both traffic and police car AI
• Vehicle dynamics and 3D math used to implement the game systems
• Visual Logger, console variables, custom log categories, and debug draw commands to help troubleshoot the dynamic systems in the game

• Godot 4.5 original game that focuses on sound design and combines 2D and 3D graphics in the same scene.
• Solo dev project completed in < 75 hours from concept to release

Unreal Engine 5 game where I focused more on the development of post-processing material effects.

- Post processing cross hatch brushed effect

- iteration on crit hit and dodge handling, water surface and underwater effect, battle cooldown timer

- distance render optimization, lightning iterations

- assorted bug fixes (save, battle target selection, defend and retreat, dangling references, dialog, sky box, HUD, chests, animation issue

• Developed Racer AI
• Added code improvements to the rewind feature to make integration with the rest of the game easier,
• Created map and minimap
• Developed features for race position and settings menu
• Added advanced visual logging for debugging, and ensured development and shipping build configurations working as expected.
