Worked at Rockstar Games as an Associate AI/Gameplay Programmer on Grand Theft Auto 6.

An In-depth recreation of Spider-Man game including:

• Physics driven web-swinging system with dynamic force calculations inspired by the original game
• Implemented swing point detection algorithms that identify optimal attachment points on buildings with scoresbased on player's velocity, desired direction and building geometry
• Uses Space Partitioned Data Structures instead of Raycast for performance and precision
• Wall Running and traversal
• FreeFlow combat system with Counter Attacks
• Enemy AI and Boss Battle
and a lot more

Complete Shooter game with AI and AAA quality gameplay mechanics

• GTA inspired AI makes use of dynamic cover systems which impart protection from Player at the same time allowing theoppurtunity to shoot the Player
• AI behavior tree that makes use of Perception, Decision Tree, Shooting, Cover system and position selection
• Seamless animations harnessing Blendspaces, Strafing, Turning In Place, Inverse Kinematics, Curves, Leaning, Crouching, Weapon Fireand recoils, Equipping and Unequipping weapons
• Dynamic crosshairs with spread that responds to weapon type, Player's speed, firing, aiming and jumping
• Blending animations per bone, blending and playing animations based on states, bones, and graphs;Animation montages, notifies and sync markers for footsteps and sync groups
• AI behavior trees, blackboard components, Environmental Query and Contexts

Inspired by works of Junji Ito and Silent Hill Series

• Modified Engine's source code to bypass limitations of post-process effects, which were insufficient for achieving the desired manga-style shading.
• Integrated the custom shading directly into the rendering pipelinefor optimal performance and visual fidelity.
• Makes use of Unreal's Gameplay Ability System for combat and locomotion

Recreated mechanics from PalWorld including:

• Engineered a system for rapidly creating new pals and attack moves, boosting development effieciency
• Recreated more than 30 moves from the original game, with distinct properties, using the flexible move system
• AI systems allow pals to have roles such as allies, foes, and neutral with various state machinesfor combat, wander, captured etc
• Inventory and crafting systems, resource gathering, base-building, combat and weapon systems,capture systems
• Uses Time-slicing and other performance enhancing techniques
• Built region-based pal spawning and map-editing tools
and a lot more

Some projects from the time when I was starting out in game development and programming.

• Simulating Artificial Bee Colony, Genetic Algorithm by Dervis Karaboga, with swarm intelligence and decentralized self-organised system.

and a lot of other projects focusing on foundational skills and experimentation with mechanics

• Multiplayer racing game with realistic physics
• First Person Shooter
• Physics defying platformer shooter with teleportation, timeand gravity altering
• Stealth
• Tower defense
• Realtime strategy Garden Defense (similar to Plants vs Zombies)
• On-rails shooter
and many others
