Rekindled is a spell combination game the featuring 2D characters in a 3D world, your task is to use your combinations to fight off magical creatures and open your path to the volcanic peak and awaken the long-slumbering Phoenix, so its everlasting flame may Rekindle the world again.
Rekindled is a first-person spell-combination combat game developed in Unity as my final project at Vancouver Film School. The game combines 2D characters with a 3D world and focuses on using different spell combinations to fight magical creatures while progressing toward the volcanic peak and awakening the Phoenix. I worked as the Programming Lead, coordinating a team of four programmers while also taking direct responsibility for enemy programming and combat-related systems. My role required balancing technical leadership with hands-on development throughout production.
As Programming Lead, I helped organize programming tasks, review integrations, coordinate dependencies between systems, and ensure that features developed by different programmers worked together correctly. I also worked closely with other disciplines when gameplay systems depended on level design, art, animation, or VFX. My primary development responsibility was enemy systems and combat encounters, including enemy behavior, navigation, combat logic, interactions with encounter systems, and the rules controlling how enemies respond to the player. Because multiple enemies could be active simultaneously, these systems needed to remain predictable for designers while still producing dynamic combat situations. Optimization was also an important part of my role, so I regularly reviewed systems from a broader project perspective, looking for unnecessary processing, expensive interactions, or implementation decisions that could become problematic as levels and encounters increased in complexity.
The biggest challenge was balancing leadership responsibilities with individual development work. I was not only responsible for completing my own systems, but also for understanding how the work of several programmers affected the stability and performance of the entire game. This forced me to think beyond individual features and consider maintainability, system interactions, designer usability, and performance impact. Rekindled became my most complete experience working as a programming lead and strengthened my ability to coordinate developers, identify technical risks, integrate gameplay systems, and make decisions from the perspective of the project as a whole.
Monster Route is a 3D first-person game developed in Unity as part of a team project at Vancouver Film School. I contributed to gameplay programming, enemy interactions, UI systems, VFX triggers, debugging, and modular gameplay architecture.
Monster Route is a 3D first-person game developed in Unity as part of a team project at Vancouver Film School. I contributed as a Game Developer, working across gameplay programming, enemy interactions, UI systems, VFX triggers, debugging, and modular gameplay systems. Unlike Rekindled, my role was not focused on leadership. Instead, Monster Route became an important experience in learning how to contribute effectively as a programmer inside an established development pipeline.
During development, I worked with systems and tools that were not necessarily created by me. This required understanding existing code, following established architecture, and implementing features without disrupting other parts of the project. My contributions included gameplay mechanics, enemy-related systems and interactions, UI functionality, VFX triggers, and debugging. Working inside existing systems taught me to adapt my code to the architecture of a project rather than designing every solution around my own preferences. Monster Route was also my first major game project developed within an English-speaking team environment, where communication around implementation, bugs, requirements, priorities, and technical problems was primarily conducted in English.
One of the main challenges was adapting to a more structured and collaborative development process. I had to learn how to understand tools created by other programmers, communicate technical problems clearly, and coordinate my work around systems that other team members depended on. The language environment added another layer to that experience, turning technical communication in English into part of my everyday workflow. Monster Route helped me transition from approaching programming primarily as an individual developer to understanding how programmers operate inside a larger production pipeline, strengthening my communication, debugging, code-reading, and collaborative development skills.
Full-stack telemetry system that collects and visualizes gameplay data from a Unity WebGL game. The project integrates Unity, Firebase, React, and Python to track player behavior, generate analytics, and display real-time graphs and leaderboards through a web interface with admin and player roles.
Game Telemetry System is a full-stack analytics project designed to collect gameplay information from a Unity WebGL game and transform it into meaningful data through a web dashboard. The project connects several technologies, including Unity WebGL, JavaScript, React, Firebase, and Python, to create a complete pipeline from gameplay events to persistent storage, processing, analytics, and visualization.
The main technical goal was to make technologies from very different environments communicate as one system. Gameplay events originate inside Unity, while the WebGL application communicates with the surrounding web environment so data can move into the JavaScript side of the application and eventually into Firebase. React provides the dashboard interface, while Python is used for additional data processing and analysis. The resulting platform supports gameplay analytics, real-time visualizations, graphs, leaderboards, and different experiences for player and administrator roles. Instead of treating the Unity application and website as independent projects, I designed them as different components of the same data pipeline.
The most interesting challenge was integration. Individually, none of the technologies represented the entire project; the complexity came from making Unity, WebGL, JavaScript, Firebase, React, and Python reliably exchange and interpret information. This required thinking carefully about data structure, communication boundaries, asynchronous operations, persistence, and how raw gameplay events should eventually become information that someone can understand through a dashboard. The project significantly expanded my understanding of full-stack development by connecting my game-development background with web technologies and data analysis, while demonstrating how gameplay systems can become part of a larger software ecosystem.
PokeWalk is a mobile application built with React Native and Expo that tracks the user's steps and unlocks Pokémon in a personal Pokédex based on walking progress. The app includes user authentication, persistent account-based data, external API integration, and real-time step tracking using Expo Sensors.
Each user can register or log in with Firebase Authentication, load their own progress from Firestore, track or pause step detection, and unlock Pokémon based on their activity. The project demonstrates mobile UI development, sensor access, API calls, Firebase integration, and persistent user data management.
PokeWalk is a React Native mobile application that connects physical activity with game-inspired progression. Users create an account, track their steps, and progressively unlock Pokémon based on their walking activity. I developed the project to explore mobile development beyond interface design, building an application that combines device sensors, persistent cloud data, authentication, and external services.
The application uses Firebase Authentication for account management and Firestore to maintain persistent progression for each user. Step information is obtained through Expo Sensors, while Pokémon information is retrieved through an external API. One of the core design decisions was making progression account-based rather than temporary. A user can register or log in, retrieve existing information, continue tracking steps, pause or resume detection, and maintain unlocked Pokémon between sessions. The application therefore required several systems to work together: authentication, sensor access, API requests, application state, progression logic, and remote data persistence.
The main challenge was managing information coming from multiple asynchronous sources while keeping the application's state consistent. Sensor information could change continuously, API information had to be retrieved externally, authentication determined which data should be loaded, and Firestore needed to preserve progression between sessions. These systems also had to behave correctly when tracking was paused, resumed, or when a different user logged into the application. PokeWalk gave me practical experience building a mobile application where the interface is only one layer of a larger system, strengthening my understanding of React Native, application state, Firebase, device capabilities, API integration, and persistent user experiences.
Multiplayer Roblox experience developed as part of a professional collaboration with KaraOkulta (Amber Studio). The project features a virtual shopping-mall environment with interactive minigames and social gameplay systems. Contributed to gameplay implementation and interactive systems using Lua scripting within Roblox Studio, working within an existing production environment.
Brandcade was my first professional game-development experience, developed remotely in collaboration with KaraOkulta / Amber Studio in Mexico. The project was a multiplayer Roblox experience centered around a virtual shopping mall containing interactive activities, minigames, and social gameplay systems. I contributed as a gameplay developer using Lua and Roblox Studio, implementing gameplay mechanics and interactive systems inside an existing production environment.
Unlike my previous academic and personal projects, Brandcade required me to contribute to a project with an established team, workflow, codebase, and production requirements. I worked remotely with developers and other team members, receiving assigned features, coordinating implementation, using version-control and collaborative development tools, and adapting my work to systems that were already being developed by others. My contributions included gameplay and interactive systems for the Roblox experience, including mechanics associated with its different activities and minigames. This required understanding existing systems before extending them instead of building every feature independently from the ground up.
The biggest challenge was adapting from academic development to a professional remote production environment. For the first time, completing a feature was not only about making the code work; I also had to consider how my implementation affected other developers, follow an existing workflow, communicate progress and problems remotely, coordinate tasks, and work within decisions that had already been established for the project. Brandcade gave me my first practical understanding of professional collaborative development and taught me how to enter an existing project, adapt to another team's workflow, use collaborative and version-control tools, communicate remotely, and deliver gameplay features as part of a larger production.
Mangrove Rescue is a 2D top-down Unity game focused on environmental rescue gameplay. I worked on gameplay programming, enemy behavior, game progression, objectives, and interaction systems within a 2D environment.
Mangrove Rescue is a 2D top-down game developed in Unity during approximately four months of production as a university project. The game focuses on environmental rescue gameplay, with the player progressing through objectives while interacting with enemies and different gameplay systems. I worked primarily on programming, including gameplay mechanics, progression, objectives, interactions, and enemy behavior.
The project was developed at an earlier stage of my experience as a game developer, which made it an important opportunity to learn how programming decisions interact with art, design, and production planning. My responsibilities included implementing the main gameplay systems and enemy behavior while integrating assets and design changes produced throughout development. Because several disciplines contributed to the project, seemingly small changes to assets or level design could create additional programming or integration work. This gradually made coordination between disciplines an important part of development.
One of the largest challenges was production planning and asset optimization. At the time, I had less experience defining technical requirements for assets and communicating optimization constraints between programmers and artists. As development progressed, some assets and design decisions required additional changes or rework. Combined with multiple design iterations, this created delays that could have been reduced with clearer technical planning earlier in production. The experience taught me that optimization should not be left until the end of development and that programmers need to communicate technical constraints with other disciplines before assets and systems become deeply integrated. Looking back, the project represents an important step in my development because many of the production and optimization problems I encountered there directly influenced how I later approached larger projects.
