  • ✓ Troubleshooting & profiling: Hitch triage, tick loop audits, bug fixing
  • ✓ Transparent time tracking, clean PRs, and async Discord check-ins

Core Specializations & Skills

GAS

Gameplay Ability System

Custom execution calculations (`UGameplayEffectExecutionCalculation`), predictive damage pipelines, radial falloff, attribute sets, debuffs/status tags, and combat rotation locking.

AI

Advanced Enemy & Boss AI

Token-based combat role coordinators (`Attacker`, `Flanker`, `Waiter`), custom StateTree & Behavior Tree nodes, 3D flying navigation with EQS repositioning, and smart Recast NavMesh proxies.

OPT

Profiling & Optimization

Game-Thread time reductions (proven 13ms → 7ms on Six Degrees), zero-allocation tick loops, time-slicing expensive raycasts, Significance Manager scaling, and Slate global invalidation tuning.

SYS

Subsystems & Core Architecture

World subsystems replacing heavy tick components (e.g. shared curve timeline subsystem, actor pools with frame-staggered teardown, off-screen companion respawning).

UI

Common UI, UMG & Mutable

Modular Common UI widget hierarchies with gamepad focus navigation, Mutable mesh customization integration, and event-driven data binding that avoids per-frame ticks.

NET

Multiplayer & Editor Tooling

Network replication, GAS prediction, Steam session plugins, plus custom Unreal Editor tooling: `FComponentVisualizer` gizmos, `IDetailCustomization` panels, and Slate graph nodes.

Proven Portfolio & Production Experience

Everything offered is grounded in real shipping titles, published templates, and battle-tested open-source code.

Steam Title

Forgotten Requiem

Diablo-like ARPG with C++, GAS damage pipelines, and headless CI runner.

Commercial Work

Six Degrees

Hack 'n' Slash combat, 46% Game-Thread optimization, and Mutable UI.

Steam Title

Junk! Game About Robots

GAS combat systems, enemy AI, and modular UMG menu architectures.

Open Source

11+ C++ Templates

Publicly available GitHub repositories for multiplayer, AI, and systems.
