Game Design
Level and technical design is where I'm happiest: shaping spaces, mechanics and the logic that makes them work. I build and tune things in engine, then bring the same way of thinking to combat, AI, progression and products.
Level & Technical Design
Levels that flow, encounters players can read, and gameplay systems that actually work - built in engine and improved through play.
Zero Protocol: Outskirts
A prologue that teaches the game through the level itself, introduces a companion without turning him into an escort quest, and ends with the Molten Tyrant.

The Molten Tyrant
An area-denial boss that covers the floor in lava and tests everything the player learned in the first mission.

Enemy Combat AI
Enemies pick targets by faction, share reusable state machines, and take turns attacking so group fights stay messy without becoming unfair.

One-Button Combo System
One attack button, two ways of reading input, and timed branches that add real melee choices without taking over the controller.
Read case study →Adaptive Wallrun System
A Sands of Time-style wallrun that keeps its arc around ceilings, wall tops, gaps and curves, with the whole feel adjustable in the Inspector.

Mechanics, encounters and progression systems worked out by building complete, playable games.
Crystal Drive Z
An arcade roguelite where collisions, enemy pressure, boss encounters and a persistent hangar turn each death into one more run.

Crystal Drive
A three-week time box to learn Godot by shipping a complete arcade score attack, including progression, records and an online leaderboard.

The same design thinking, used on apps: start with a real problem and build a tool that makes sense.
REP//CADE
A free-first workout planner and tracker built around honest logging, bodyweight-relative strength and progression that rewards showing up.

Resomight
A multi-platform command centre that measures whether content connects and rewards the consistency required to build an audience over time.

From greybox and traversal to combat and AI, I can take a feature from the first idea through building, testing and tuning it.
