Released or Announced Games I was employed to work on:

Giant Squid

  • #### Sword of the Sea (2021-2022) PC/PS5 || Unreal/C++ & Blueprints
    • Solved complex problem of how to “surf” a character along arbitrarily, simulated waves and static geometry: making the character intuitively follow the ground, catch hang time, and stop at “walls” all with only minimal world markup for designers.
    • Nailed the game feel of a nebulous “physical but magical” speed tech for surfing character by working intimately with design and engineers. After R&D of multiple prototypes and iterations with design, distilled feedback with other engineers to collaboratively build a mental model that produced the desired algorithm.
