STRIDEN (PvP)

Role: Lead Programmer

I started as the sole programmer on STRIDEN, building its entire foundation in C++ for Unreal Engine, utilizing Epic's Gameplay Ability System (GAS) for a scalable and modular architecture. As the team expanded, I transitioned into a Lead Programmer role, mentoring new developers and guiding them through the project’s systems.

Key Contributions​

  • Core Systems Development: Implemented character movement, shooting mechanics, animation systems, and game mode logic.
  • Multiplayer & Networking: Designed matchmaking, replication, and networking features.
  • Gameplay Mechanics: Developed damage, health, and stamina systems.
  • Backend & Server Integration: Set up Steam integration and Amazon GameLift dedicated servers.
  • Leadership & Mentorship: Onboarded and mentored new programmers, ensuring smooth integration into the development pipeline.

Taking STRIDEN from the ground up and later leading the programming team was both a challenge and a rewarding experience, solidifying my skills in game architecture, multiplayer development, and leadership.
