My journey through video game development and graphics programming

Custom Game Engine Development

• Component-Based Architecture – GameObject system with a hierarchical scene graph.
• Lua Scripting – Integrated as components for runtime behavior modification.
• Serialization – Custom save/load system for game states and assets.
• GUI Editor – Built an in-engine tool for scene and asset editing.
• Rendering – Lighting, normal mapping, and custom material format.
• Animation – GPU skinning and playback system.
• Physics – Custom rigid-body system with collision detection.
• Shader Editor -- Node-based shader editor similar to shader graph.Designed and implemented core game engine systems, blending graphics, physics, scripting, and tooling into a cohesive framework. Developed entirely as a solo project.

Easy Text Effects for Unity

Created a Unity package that enables game developers to easily design stunning and fully customizable animation effects for TextMesh Pro texts.The package is open-source and actively maintained.I manage the repository, fostering community engagement and contributions, with the project earning over 400 stars on GitHub.

Procedural Animation and Texturing of Implicit Creatures

Led a team of three to develop procedurally animated creatures in Unreal Engine 5, leveraging Inverse Kinematics, constraint-based physics, and Semi-Implicit Euler integration.Represented the creatures using implicit surface functions and implemented raymarching.Enhanced visuals with advanced post-processing effects, including underwater caustics, a Kuwahara filter for stylized rendering, and a Difference of Gaussians filter for edge enhancement.

Raymarch Procedural Complex Implicit Terrain

Bachelor’s dissertation: Developed a raymarching renderer in GLSL and C++ for real-time procedural environments (terrain, water, atmosphere, volumetric clouds). Added procedural planets and JSON parameter storage. Awarded 87/100, High Distinction.

Shader Web

Solo-developed a web-based GLSL shader editor with WebGL, TypeScript, and React. Added custom multi-pass rendering, a GLSL preprocessor, and user-created widgets for real-time uniform adjustments.

ARc Racer -- AR Racing Game

Led team of 3, created AR track and racing game in Unity AR Foundation; features dense mesh driving, object scanning for cars, and realistic lighting.

Technical Artist -- USC Advanced Game Projects

Developed custom shaders and VFX in Unity for 2 advanced USC game projects using Shader Graph, HLSL, and Visual Effect Graph; optimized particle systems and effects for performance.
