SURVIVING THE ADVENTURES OF ISLA SENTINEL
My upcoming Unreal Engine major project is an ambitious survival-adventure title built from the ground up. Blending atmospheric environmental storytelling with complex enemy behavior trees, dynamic hazard systems, and deep gameplay loops on the mysterious Isla Sentinel.

Philosophy & Craft
Building games that feel alive
Passionate Game Developer specializing in Unity and Unreal Engine. I combine sharp problem-solving skills and clear communication with hands-on expertise in gameplay mechanics, AI systems, UI design, and animation to build engaging, polished games from the ground up.
Whether architecting cyclic NPC patrol routines using NavMesh and Behavior Trees in Unreal Engine 5.6, or calibrating physics-based platform locomotion and GDD-driven features in Unity, my priority is player feel, responsiveness, and clean systems architecture.
