Professional Snapshot

I am a C++ Unreal Engine 5 Gameplay Programmer with a fairly generalist approach to Game Development. Most of my professional work has been on multiplayer projects, especially AI, gameplay systems, and server-authoritative code.

Most Recent Role

Gameplay Programmer at Bevium until November 2025, where I worked on AI agents, gameplay systems in C++ and Blueprints, and part of the level design work.

Core Stack

Unreal Engine 5, C++, C#, AI behavior trees, replication, RPCs, Steamworks, and custom build workflows with UBT and UAT.

Key Strength

I work well as a generalist: I can move between AI, gameplay code, level design, build workflows, and team coordination depending on what the project needs.
