Spartacus Blood Arena is an online multiplayer arena game developed for Steam, designed to deliver fast-paced, competitive gameplay in an immersive gladiatorial setting. The project focuses on robust multiplayer architecture, engaging combat mechanics, and optimized performance to ensure a seamless experience for players across various systems.

• Led the development of the game’s core systems and overall architecture to support competitive online multiplayer.
• Defined and implemented gameplay frameworks, ensuring scalability, balance, and real-time synchronization.
• Oversaw the programming team and coordinated with designers and artists to align technical execution with the creative vision.
• Delivered key features, including in-world UI, matchmaking systems, and performance optimization tools.
• Conducted thorough code reviews to maintain high-quality standards across the development pipeline.

Developed advanced simulation and procedural generation tools for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and Autonomous Vehicle (AV) research using Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) and Houdini. The project focused on building scalable, high-fidelity environments and frameworks to support autonomous vehicle testing, validation, and performance benchmarking in realistic driving conditions.

• Built Midgard, a modular framework for autonomous vehicle simulation, testing, and validation.
• Developed Procedural Worlds, a system that generated complex 3D driving environments directly from OpenDRIVE data.
• Designed and implemented scalable editor utilities to streamline development workflows and accelerate testing pipelines.
• Collaborated closely with simulation engineers to ensure high fidelity, real-time performance, and alignment with research goals.
• Optimized procedural content generation and scene rendering to enhance simulation accuracy and runtime efficiency.
• Leveraged UE5 and Houdini to integrate procedural logic and visual realism, supporting large-scale automated testing scenarios.

Virtuo is a highly interactive VR interior design application that enables users to create, edit, and navigate virtual house spaces. The service enabled users to preview and experience their future living spaces in a realistic 3D environment before purchasing furniture, delivering a dynamic and immersive design experience that combines interactivity with practical utility.

• Designed and implemented a virtual builder for creating, editing, and navigating customizable house spaces.
• Developed interactive VR features that allowed users to visualize and modify interiors in real time.
• Integrated realistic rendering and spatial interactions to enhance user immersion and engagement.
• Collaborated with design and product teams to align VR experiences with user-centric goals.
• Ensured a smooth and intuitive user interface that balanced functionality with usability.
• Delivered a dynamic, user-friendly VR application that provided both creative freedom and practical value.
