About

I'm a gameplay programmer specializing in C++ and Unreal Engine 5, with a focus on gameplay systems, combat, multiplayer replication, and interactive experiences.

I currently work as a Research Associate at the University of Utah's Spatial Perception and Cognitive Engineering Lab, where I develop cross-platform Unreal Engine systems in C++ for collaborative VR and desktop research.

My game-development experience includes serving as Lead Engineer on Operation P.L.U.S.H., a shipped Steam title where I developed combat and gameplay systems using Unreal C++ and Gameplay Ability System; current multiplayer gameplay development at Drunken Devs; engine and gameplay programming in a custom C++ engine; and leading Pivot, a GDC alt.ctrl 2026 finalist.

I enjoy working on player-facing systems where engineering and game feel overlap—combat mechanics, multiplayer interactions, movement, abilities, physics-based gameplay, and the debugging required to make those systems feel reliable.
