Software Engineer | C++ | C# | Python | Gameplay & Systems
I am a Software Engineer focused on building gameplay systems, automation frameworks, and engineering tools.
- Developed automation frameworks for complex workflows and system-level tasks
- Built gameplay systems in Unreal Engine (C++) and Unity (C#)
- Experience debugging graphics and system-level issues using industry tools
- Passionate about gameplay programming, systems design, and tools development
State-driven automation framework for executing in-game benchmarks without CLI support.
- CLI-driven architecture with configurable execution modes
- OCR-based state detection (replacing time-based automation)
- Full automation pipeline (launch → navigate → benchmark → repeat)
- Integrated C++ utility for system-level resolution control
A complete 2D platformer built as a senior capstone project.
- Player movement, enemy AI, and combat systems
- Boss system with phase-based mechanics and clone spawning
- Checkpoint + lives system for progression
- Dynamic UI (enemy health bars, settings, achievements)
- Multiple levels with collectibles affecting game ending
