Filimundus — Programming Internship (Sep 2025 – Present)
Working as a gameplay programmer at Filimundus, contributing to shipped titles and building gameplay features in a production environment using Unity.
Released Title
Contributed to gameplay systems in a shipped commercial title.
Released
Developed two released minigames from scratch in a production environment. Ported a legacy minigame into a new system.
Unity — In Development
Built a file system for persistent user data, implemented responsive drawing UX flows, enhanced an existing drawing system, and created a custom glitter shader.
I'm a game programmer with a strong focus on gameplay and AI systems, finishing the final internship phase of my education at The Game Assembly. I enjoy building systems that make characters feel responsive, mechanics feel satisfying, and tools that help designers iterate faster.
I work in both C++ and Unity (C#), and I'm comfortable taking features from idea to implementation. Through team projects and professional work, I've collaborated closely with designers, artists, and animators — and I've contributed to released games.
Real-time rope simulation using Verlet integration and constraint relaxation.
Pathfinding tool integrating Recast, built for our custom C++ engine.
Steering behaviors, behavior trees, and object pooling for enemy AI.
Goal-Oriented Action Planning with A*-based decision-making.
Designer-facing tool for controlling wave-based enemy spawning.
Screen-to-world raycasting for perspective and orthographic cameras.
Boss AI driven by a state machine with phase-based combat logic.
Custom collision system for a 2D platformer with moving platforms.
Player movement and combat on a 2D grid in a 3D world.
From team projects at The Game Assembly — built in a custom C++ engine
Built a rope/chain physics system using Verlet integration for position-based dynamics. Each segment's new position is computed from its current and previous positions plus acceleration, removing the need to track velocities explicitly and producing naturally smooth, stable motion.
Constraints between segments are enforced using the Jakobsen method, which iteratively relaxes distance constraints over multiple passes. This keeps segments at a fixed length from each other, preventing stretching while allowing the rope to drape and swing realistically.
The combination of Verlet integration and iterative constraint solving creates a lightweight, physically plausible rope simulation suitable for real-time use — ideal for grappling hooks, chains, hanging cables, or any flexible linkage in gameplay.

Farmers follow plans using A*-influenced movement, avoiding enemies while gathering resources. Soldiers respond to enemy presence or patrol low-defense areas. Goblins wander randomly, targeting vulnerable spots.
The world is grid-based with procedurally placed resources. All units share an entity system, with sprite batching handling visuals.
Read MoreImplemented enemy AI using steering behaviors and a shared blackboard system. Each enemy type responds to its surroundings through Seek, Arrival, Separation, Spread and Object Avoidance.
Movement and behavior are reactive and data-driven. Enemies stay in formation, avoid obstacles, and use behavior trees for decision-making.
The system is fully tweakable via ImGui controls, allowing live adjustment of speed, mass, and force, plus preset ray layouts for precise steering response.
Read MoreUses Recast Navigation to automatically generate walkable areas from level geometry, producing both a Detailed and a simplified Polymesh navmesh. The result is a clean, optimized polygon mesh for real-time pathfinding.
Converts Recast data into a custom grid format for fast lookup of node centers and connections. This grid is also used by AI behaviors like edge steering to keep enemies on-path.
The navmesh is rendered visually for debugging, showing geometry and node relationships. Fully customizable to fit different AI use cases and map layouts.
