SHOWCASE

3D Action Platformer in Unreal Engine

I served a technical design role where I created and tuned the player character movement, written fully in C++. I contributed multiple C++ classes and UE4 Blueprint prototypes for numerous gameplay objects. In character movement and level design, I following an iterative process focused on playtesting with real players to achieve strong game feel.

Additionally, I assisted in project management, using an Agile process and Kanban boards to track progress through bi-weekly sprints.
