About Me

Passionate game programmer with hands-on experience since 2017. Started with backend web development in C#/ASP.NET, then transitioned fully into game programming to pursue systems-driven, creative development. I obtained my First Class Honours, with a dissertation focused on procedural stealth-level generation. I’m have recently completed my master’s thesis on optimizing surfel-based global illumination. My core interests lie in building gameplay systems, real-time graphics, and developer tools.

Chempunch

Unreal Engine Dare Academy Finalist Presented at EGX x MCM 2024 London
Chempunch on Itch.io

Notable Contributions

  • Enemy horde AI utilizing behaviour trees, EQS, custom AI utility functions
  • Congestion-aware pathfinding
  • Controllable dynamic difficulty system

Chempunch is a first-person wave-defence action game in which I worked as generalist and AI programmer. Additionally, I helped with plugin integration (WWise) across multiple environments, conducted extensive profiling for performance and bug fixing and helped with git merges.

Game Engine / Render System / DX11

DX11 Computer Graphics & Procedural Programmer
Github

CGBanner (1)

Notable Contributions

  • Procedural Terrain (fBM)
  • Procedural Destruction
  • Procedural Gerstner Waves
  • Compute Shader Buoyancy integrated with physics engine Bullet3D
  • Screen-Space Reflections + DDA
  • Parallel-Split Shadow Maps

This project simulates an immersive rocky ocean environment where the player pilots a ship capable of destroying procedural terrain. It combines work from three separate university modules, showcasing a range of computer graphics techniques. The implementation covers both foundational and intermediate graphics concepts,

Surfel Based Global Illumination

C++, DirectX 12 (DXR), HLSL, MiniEngine Solo Project Researcher & Graphics Programmer
Github

Notable Contributions

  • Surfel-Based GI pipeline in DX12
  • Horizon-Based Indirect Lighting (HBIL) for robust near-field GI
  • Confidence blending to merge surfel + screen-space lighting
  • Near-Far Surfel Sphere (NFSS) - novel structure to reduce overspawning
  • GPU profiling, debugging and performance evaluation in PIX

This project re-implements surfel-based GI (as used in Frostbite / GIBS) and introduces the Near-Far Surfel Sphere (NFSS), a hybrid data structure combining surfels with screen-space approximations. It reduces overspawning in dense geometry while maintaining lighting quality.

Toot The Lute

Unity, WWise Feb 2025 To May 2025 7 Project Lead & Programmer
Toot the Lute on Itch.io
Github

Notable Contributions

  • Rhythm-based input system
  • Rhythm-synced attacks, dashes and combos
  • Beat track with approaching visual beat cues
  • Dynamic input/audio and visual/audio latency calibration

Toot The Lute combines the isometric combat of Hades with the rhythm game system inspired by Bullets Per Minute (BPM). In creating this project I served as a team lead, leading a team of 2nd-year university game developers on their first game development project. Additionally, I also assumed the role of the project’s sole programmer and the responsibility of placing every created asset in the engine.

Ratking

Unity 7 Programmer

Ratking Banner

Notable Contributions

  • Custom pathfinding and automatic PF graph builder
  • Noise-based distraction/sensory system
  • Fully physics simulated projectile trajectory preview
  • Classic stealth game state machine

Ratking is a stealth-platformer game in which you play as a rat trying to infiltrate a mansion of cats. This was a professional project in my 3rd university year, which was in accordance to a extraction-game brief provided by Modern Wolf.
