Professional Work
AAA Action Adventure Title
-
UE5 C++ engineering on the next Tomb Raider at Crystal Dynamics, working across rendering-driven world systems, gameplay, and engine-level systems.
-
Owned the dynamic weather, occlusion, and time-of-day systems, driving localized environment states, wetness, and lighting behavior across large streaming worlds.
-
Designed spatial “sector” and traversal markup systems that partition the world for streaming, querying, and navigation, keeping complex, kit-bashed geometry reliably traversable.
-
Implemented multiple traversal abilities in UE5 C++/Blueprints using GAS, wiring contextual movement and traversal moves into world markup, locomotion state, and animation so characters react reliably to complex, kit-bashed geometry.
-
Used Unreal Insights, PIX, and GPU profiling workflows to monitor and improve performance of world and occlusion systems in large, visually rich environments.
AAA Multiplayer Action Adventure GaaS
-
Rendering / FX-oriented engine work on Marvel’s Avengers, focusing on tools and runtime systems that powered gameplay and cinematic effects in a proprietary engine.
-
Owned and extended the engine’s FX system, building features and authoring workflows used daily by FX and Tech Art for high-impact combat, traversal, and cinematic moments.
-
Profiled and optimized FX-heavy scenes to hit performance targets, making engine-level changes and guiding FX authors with best practices and written optimization docs.
-
Collaborated with FX, Tech Art, and rendering engineers to debug visual issues, improve FX authoring pipelines, and ship stable, performant visuals across platforms.
INDIVIDUAL WORK
VOXEL BASED GLOBAL ILLUMINATION
Master's Thesis
Achieving indirect lighting in real time with help of voxelization and indirect lighting algorithms. This thesis is done on my personal engine which is DirectX enabled.
SIMPLE MINER
3DÂ minecraft-like
Made a Minecraft like game which lets you dig and place different kinds of blocks in a 3D world rendered using OpenGL. Also, I used a grid based lighting algorithm to enable a light block.
DOOMLIKE
2D Roguelike
2D roguelike with ASCII art made using my personal engine. This game is hugely data driven giving designers the power to design entire adventures through XML.
3DÂ VISUALIZERÂ GLOBE
Music Visualizer
A 3D model of Earth used as a music visualizer with distortions and bumps in land and water indicating the bass and treble of the current spectrum.
