I bridge the gap between creative vision and complex technical execution in Unreal Engine 5. With over a decade of industry experience—spanning AAA studios like Amazon Games and Maxis. I specialize in architecting core combat loops, advanced vehicle physics, and procedural content pipelines while establishing scalable workflows for multi-disciplinary teams.
Architecting Systemic AI and Tactical Insertion in UE5
A compelling tactical loop relies on intelligent, coordinated systems rather than just static enemy placement. This prototype breaks down the transition from a high-stakes stealth insertion phase into a systemic ground combat loop. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the underlying architecture features a robust AI state machine that seamlessly drives NPC behaviors between Patrol, Alarm Run, and Combat states. To keep squad-based encounters tense but balanced, I engineered a Fire Token economy to manage attack pacing. This integrates directly with dynamic cover evaluation logic, allowing enemies to shift between Peeking, Reloading, and Ducking states in real time for highly readable encounters.
