JUNK!

Lead Developer

As the Lead Developer, I spearheaded the technical architecture and systems design for JUNK!, a fast-paced, arena-style 1v1 PvP robot brawler. My focus was on building a scalable, production-ready multiplayer framework that balanced high-performance combat with robust backend stability.

Multiplayer Framework: Spearheaded the integration of Epic Online Services (EOS) to manage sessions and matchmaking for a seamless 1v1 competitive experience.
Modular Combat System: Engineered a "Lyra-inspired" combat and ability framework, utilizing C++ and Gameplay Ability System (GAS) to create highly decoupled, reusable robot components.
Core Systems: Coded the foundational movement and physics-based systems specifically tuned for high-speed, third-person robot combat.
Cross-Disciplinary Lead: Collaborated directly with Art and Design teams to translate the game's unique "Junk" aesthetic into a high-performance, technically optimized reality.
