My Contribution

I joined Novarama during their transition from a custom engine to Unreal Engine 4 for the development of Killsquad. This provided me with the opportunity to learn Unreal Engine's technology alongside experienced staff, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the engine's systems and how to set up a project from scratch.

Due to the small size of the team, I worked as a Generalist Engineer, contributing to various areas such as AI, UI, and Gameplay. I also mentored all the new team members, enabling them to take over my responsibilities so I could assist in other areas as needed. My contributions included developing abilities, missions, and systems such as inventory, accolades, gameplay events, faction reputation, stats, badge tracking and weapon customization.

Additionally, I managed two team members during the second half of the development when the team doubled its size, providing leadership and ensuring effective collaboration within the expanded team.
