The 300 Second Breakout is a time-based stealth game built in Unity and C# for the Neumont Winter Game Jam, where players must escape from prison in under five minutes. Inspired by Metal Gear, the game features patrolling guards with waypoint-based AI and interactive voice lines. As part of a team of four, I directed creative decisions, wrote scripts for dialogue, and contributed voice work. I also designed AI behavior systems, ensuring guards could dynamically respond to player actions, and implemented patrol logic to create engaging stealth gameplay. My contributions helped shape the immersive and strategic experience.

Doom Zombies is a solo-developed first-person shooter that captures the frantic energy of 90s-era shooters. Built using a custom engine in C++ with Raylib, the game features sprite-based enemies, over-the-top weapons, and explosive movement. Emphasis was placed on gameplay feel, retro visuals, and audio feedback.

This engine is built in C++ using Raylib for rendering and Jolt Physics for realistic simulation. It supports modular scenes, components, custom scripts, and real-time physics updates. The system is designed for rapid prototyping of 3D gameplay and cinematic movement. Built with a modular CMake structure, it offers multi-platform support and easy third-party integration.

The goal of this project is to deepen my low-level programming skills, gain hands-on experience with engine architecture, and learn Jolt Physics in depth. I’m also building it as a foundation for creating my own C++ games.

Worst Nightmare is a single-player horror game built in Unity and C# for the Neumont Spring Game Jam. The game places players in a tense environment, searching for a police officer while evading a sinister stalker. The stalker's AI reacts to the player's gaze—freezing when looked at but becoming hostile if stared at for too long. A heartbeat sound effect dynamically grows louder as the stalker approaches, adding to the game's tension. Developed entirely solo, I created the AI behavior, integrated audio cues for player feedback, and crafted an atmospheric experience. The game placed 3rd out of 28 entries, earning positive feedback for its innovative mechanics and suspenseful design.

This engine was developed as part of a c++ course, focusing on the core systems of a 2D game engine. Built in C++ with Raylib for rendering, SDL for input handling, and Box2D for physics, the engine supports a flexible component-based architecture. It includes systems for entity management, collision, physics, audio, and sprite animation. I used this engine to prototype a variety of gameplay mechanics and improve my understanding of game architecture fundamentals.

This portfolio was built from the ground up to represent my work, personality, and technical skill. It's developed with React and TypeScript, and uses a dynamic JSON-driven system so I can easily add or update content without touching the codebase. The site features interactive elements, a blog, tag-based project filtering, and links to my resume, GitHub, and social media. I designed it with scalability in mind, ensuring I can expand it as my career grows.

Steelcore is a 2D game built in Unity 6 that showcases expertise in game design, artificial intelligence implementation, and collaborative development. The game revolves around AI-driven tank battles and features a modular tank creation system, an AI training environment, and AI-versus-AI combat. Players can design their tanks by selecting parts that influence gameplay statistics such as speed, durability, and firepower. The AI training mode leverages the SharpNEAT library to evolve tank AIs, allowing players to train their tanks against a premade AI or compete with other players' AIs. Once trained, tanks can be tested in a battle system. My role involved developing the neural network systems and training parameters, and making creative decisions on the experience.
