What I build
From ability logic to
the moment it lands.
Deep gameplay engineering with enough presentation awareness to make systems feel clear, responsive and finished.
02
Networked Gameplay
Authority-aware logic, responsive local feedback, replication strategy and multiplayer debugging across the full client-to-server path.

Combat Feel
The connective layer between mechanics and presentation: animation montages, Niagara VFX, camera behavior, audio cues and clear targeting feedback.

AI & NPC Abilities
Extensible ability families for varied NPC archetypes—from projectiles and grenades to stuns, slows, knockback and close-range attacks.
AINPCReusable Systems
Production focusNetworked combat
Selected systems
Complex under the hood.
Intuitive in play.
Recent work has centered on multiplayer fantasy combat: ships, weapons, heroes and NPCs sharing one coherent ability architecture.
Naval weapons & targeting
Cannon, ballista and mortar ability sets with ballistic trajectories, aim visualization, camera work and damage filtering for ship combat.
Character ability frameworks
Shared foundations for shields, projectiles, AoE, homing, crowd control and combo abilities—then specialized cleanly per character or NPC.
Production architecture
Pooled actors, custom ability tasks, hit validation, team filters and lifecycle resets designed to remain understandable as content scales.

Development approach
Strong foundations.
Fast iteration.
Architecture before duplication
Build the reusable rule once, then expose the right controls for fast content creation.
Debug the whole network path
Trace ownership, authority, prediction and replication before treating symptoms.
Mechanics and presentation together
Gameplay logic, VFX, animation and camera should reinforce the same readable action.
A note on public work
Commercial experience.
Private by design.
I work on a large Unreal Engine production and deliberately don't link a public GitHub or expose proprietary project code. I'm happy to discuss architecture, responsibilities and problem-solving in a private professional conversation.
