About

Gameplay engineer with Unity/C# experience across AR and multiplayer, including building a custom dynamic navigation system for an AR "floating island" game (with profiling-driven optimization from A* to Markov-chain movement). Also designed an LLM-assisted conversation system for Sims-like gameplay that constrained choices for reliability and low latency, and shipped Photon Quantum multiplayer features with practical desync/prediction fixes.

Key Strengths

  • Owned and architected a custom dynamic navigation system for AR (navmesh alternative) in Unity/C#
  • Strong performance profiling and optimization (eliminated CPU spikes by replacing A* with Markov-chain movement)
  • Built robust developer tooling (debug gizmos) to visualize walkable space, blocked areas, and paths
  • Designed constrained, low-latency LLM dialogue architecture using deterministic game state + limited player/NPC choices
  • Multiplayer synchronization problem-solving in Photon Quantum (converted networked item entity into player state to eliminate desync/prediction issues)
  • Player-centric iteration via playtesting with target audience (preschoolers); feature identified as favorite element
