About
UE5 Blueprint-focused gameplay/AI developer specializing in combat creatures and reusable, data-driven systems. Built a player-facing AI dodge mechanic that stays navmesh-safe via trace-based space checks and tuned it with cooldowns/probabilities, validating timing against ~250ms player reaction speed using a dedicated test map and logging. Experienced collaborating cross-discipline to propose features, request assets, prototype quickly, and iterate based on QA/playtests and creative direction.
