Get to Know Me
Bridging Software Engineering with Immersive Game Design
I am a 3rd-year Software Engineering student with a relentless drive for Game Development. My approach focuses on creating high-performance, scalable game systems by applying solid engineering principles to the creative world of Unity.
From architecting Multiplayer Co-op environments with Photon to designing data-driven RPG systems, I specialize in bridging the gap between complex Backend logic and intuitive Frontend gameplay experiences. I am committed to optimizing every "frame" and every "line of code" to deliver the best player experience.

Projects Experience
2D Action Roguelike Multiplayer
10/2025 - 01/2026 (3 Months)
Team Project (2 Members) | Role: Backend Lead & Gameplay Developer
- Engineered a real-time multiplayer combat system using Photon PUN 2, implementing custom Lag Compensation and state synchronization for smooth Co-op gameplay.
- Architected character logic using a Finite State Machine (FSM) to manage complex animation states and networked movement (Dash, Combat, Hitboxes).
- Optimized runtime performance through Object Pooling for projectiles and VFX, significantly reducing Garbage Collection (GC) spikes during high-intensity combat.
- Developed an Event-Driven Architecture to ensure loose coupling between game systems (UI, Combat, Sound), enhancing codebase maintainability and scalability.
- Integrated RESTful APIs via UnityWebRequest to synchronize persistent player data and authentication with a Node.js/Express backend.
World Shards – Turn-Based RPG Mobile Game
03/2025 – 05/2025 (2.5 Months)
Personal Project | Unity & C#
- Designed and developed a full-featured Turn-Based RPG gameplay loop for Android, centered around a Elemental Advantage System (Fire, Water, Wood, Neutral) and class-based combat roles.
- Integrated Unity Cloud Services to handle player authentication, save data persistence, and cross-device progression.
- Implemented core RPG systems including a Gacha summoning pipeline, hero progression (Leveling, Stat Growth Curves), and a skill-based combat system with 3 unique active abilities per character.
- Created a mobile-first UI/UX flow optimized for touch interaction, combined with a dynamic SFX/BGM system to reinforce combat feedback and immersion.
- Optimized runtime performance for mobile platforms, focusing on memory usage, battle flow efficiency, and scalable team composition & synergy logic.
MeloVerse - Music Streaming Platform
9/2024 - 11/2024 (3 Months)
Team Project (2 Members) | Role: Fullstack Developer
- Collaborated with a teammate to architect and build a scalable music platform using React.js and Node.js.
- Lead the Backend development, designing a MySQL database schema and implementing RESTful APIs with JWT authentication.
- Utilized Git/GitHub for version control and task management to ensure seamless integration between Frontend and Backend.
- Successfully delivered a feature-rich MVP including real-time lyrics and an automated Admin/Artist workflow.
Education
