About me
I am a network gameplay engineer from New Zealand. I specialize in character locomotion and gameplay systems.
My passion is building locomotion systems with strong game feel; I thoroughly enjoy the feeling of weight that a character can have. It is satisfying when a player enjoys even the simplest of motions, like running in a circle. Seeing someone play and appreciate something I have made is cathartic to me.
I have a background in film and technical art working with Maya and can help to bridge the gap between programmers and artists.
