Contribution
As part of a co-dev engineering team, I have helped ship multiple seasons of Microsoft Rare‘s live-service flagship title Sea of Thieves.
I worked on an enormouse range of gameplay systems & tools, executing time-sensitive server hotfixes, profiling and optimisation, improving automated workflows and closely collaborating with different disciplines (QA, Design, UI, Backend, Marketing, etc), supporting several major content updates for one of Xbox Studios’ most successful new-IP titles of the last generation.

- Co-developed with BULKHEAD
Contribution
I was part of a small outsourced engineering team maintaining game health. We fixed 100+ issues across the codebase, improving stability, gameplay behaviour, and player experience. I also took part in regular playtests to uncover missed bugs, providing gameplay footage and feedback.

- In-house project
Contribution
On this unreleased in-house project, I owned several core systems across a mature Unreal Engine codebase.
I implemented an adaptive, event-driven music system using the Unreal Engine Quartz Subsystem, enabling BPM-synced track manipulation based on gameplay states (player position – enemy proximity – active combat).
I also led a modern UI revamp using Slate and UMG, building a modular and designer-focused pipeline for new user interface implementations.
ONGOING NON-DISCLOSED PROJECT
Porting a successful game on Steam to Xbox and PS5.
- Proprietary Engine
- Porting PC to Xbox and PS5
- C++ / TypeScript / React / SCSS
- Coherent Gameface Integration
Contribution
I am part of a small team of developers porting a successful game on Steam (along with its proprietary engine) to consoles, with a current major focus on replacing its current UI integration framework — Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) — with Coherent Gameface.
This requires deep work across C++ engine systems and platform-specific constraints. We are implementing the full Coherent Gameface rendering pipeline, wiring input, events, and resource loading, resolving threading and lifetime issues between engine/UI layers, and ensuring deterministic behaviour across PC and console builds. We are also re-architecturing multiple UI flows in HTML/SCSS/TypeScript to work within Gameface’s stricter layout and rendering model, profiling and optimising performance, memory usage, and startup times.
