A Collection of cool projects I’ve been part of.

Virtual campus for Panduit

Programmer, Level Designer

I am currently developing a virtual campus for Panduit to showcase Panduit’s industrial electrical and network infrastructure connectivity solutions. The virtual campus experience features several different high detail and interactive visualizations of products, custom product application demonstrations made in Unreal’s sequencer, VR compatibility, and group networking capability. Sorry, I cannot share pictures yet :/

Dachskreig

Designer, programmer, and producer

Dachskrieg is a fun project I created with some friends. I wanted to try my hand at creating a grid based enemy pathfinding system in Unreal, and one of my friends had an interesting idea of pitting a Dachshund against Badgers in 18th Century Prussia. I also created the combat system, coded several interactable objects, created the UI, blended basic animations, and designed the levels.

Papercut

Designer, programmer, and producer

Paper Cut is a tower defense game inspired by Japanese origami. I made it with some friends specifically because I was compelled to make an interesting tower upgrading system and balanced waves of enemies for a fun player experience. I created the basic top-down functionality, created the UI and coded the tower functionality.
