About
UE5 gameplay/animation scripter who built a shipped, data-driven modular third-person locomotion framework primarily in Blueprints, owning animation blueprint logic, movement-state architecture, and designer-facing tunables. Addressed shipping-quality issues like animation popping/state desync under rapid direction changes and network-latency simulation using buffered transitions, velocity smoothing, and debug visualization, while aligning data flow/ownership with engineering, animation, and QA.
Experience
Key Strengths
- Shipped modular third-person locomotion system in UE5 primarily using Blueprints
- Animation/movement architecture with clear separation of concerns (movement as source of truth; animation reactive)
- Data-driven, parameterized system design enabling designer-led tuning without code changes
- Strong handling of edge cases (abrupt direction changes, input loss, rapid state transitions)
- Debug-first workflow (visualization for movement vectors and state tracking) to speed iteration and QA
- Cross-discipline alignment on data flow/ownership to prevent rework (engineering/animation/QA)
- Focused on maintainability and extensibility for future mechanics (e.g., stamina/contextual locomotion)
