About

Gameplay engineer with hands-on experience across Unreal Engine 5 and Unity, owning systems from level streaming/teleportation to motion-matched character movement. Has shipped/implemented multiplayer features including GAS-based replication with prediction/reconciliation and a deterministic lockstep runner using fixed-point math. Strong at diagnosing hard-to-repro physics issues and balancing performance/feel (e.g., mobile voxel A* pathfinding at 60 FPS, Chaos destruction tuned to avoid trapping players).
