A maintenance droid. A ship in lockdown. Systems built to turn survival into a series of decisions.

I design and build the C++ gameplay systems below, connecting enemy behavior, weapons, and interactive level hardware. These browser studies pair the game assets with source excerpts and plain-language explanations.

About / Contact

From an idea to something playable

I’m a game designer with software-engineering experience. I build gameplay in C++, shape environments in Unreal, and work across modeling, materials, rigging, and animation.

Routine Maintenance is my original game in development. My KOTOR II work explores character replacements and environments within an existing game’s constraints.
