Gameplay Programmer · Unity · C#
I build gameplay systems that are reusable, responsive and technically ambitious.
Graduate gameplay programmer specialising in Unity and C#, with experience creating complete games, developer tools, modular architecture and real-time API integrations.
Selected work
A selection of games and reusable Unity systems demonstrating gameplay programming, architecture, technical ownership and collaboration.
Sole Developer
A biofeedback horror prototype whose gameplay reacts to the player’s real-time heart rate. I designed the provider architecture, calibration tools, adaptive progression systems and supporting user interface, allowing ANT+ and Pulsoid data to drive the experience through a shared modular layer.
Lead Programmer
A narrative science-fiction game about a miner escaping a dystopian corporation. As lead programmer, I owned the project architecture, implemented gameplay systems, assembled scenes and coordinated the technical work required to turn the team’s ideas into a complete playable prototype.
Sole Developer
A reusable object pooling solution designed to reduce repeated instantiation and destruction in Unity. The system focuses on straightforward integration, reusable pooled behaviours and cleaner runtime object management across different game projects.
Sole Developer
A configurable runtime rebinding system that allows players to customise controls through an in-game interface. It was built as a reusable Unity component rather than a project-specific solution, with an emphasis on clear setup and maintainable input handling.
Sole Developer
A fast arcade game built around timed monster spawning, player feedback, score tracking and escalating pressure. The project strengthened my ability to create a complete gameplay loop independently and polish it into a focused, playable experience.
Sole Developer
An early independent game project centred on artistic interaction and exploration. It gave me practical experience translating an original concept into mechanics, scenes and a complete playable build while developing my foundations in Unity and C#.
