Professional Work

Contribution

As part of a co-dev team and closely collaborating with different disciplines (QA, Design, UI, Backend, Marketing, etc), I have helped ship multiple seasons of Sea of Thieves.

I built the Sovereigns trading company from scratch, expanded ship customization, implemented Xbox memory optimizations, delivered live server hotfixes, designed & implemented scalable scoring/reward architecture for major seasonal releases, just to name a few…

I have a whole page going into more detail on each season I have worked on, so please check it out!

I was part of a small outsourced engineering team supporting WARDOGS as production ramped up, with a focus on maintaining feature quality and stability.

We fixed 100+ issues across the codebase, improving client and server stability, gameplay behaviour, and overall player experience.

I worked primarily on gunplay, player interactions, the player inventory system, vehicle seats, vehicle physics, and UI.

I also developed engine tooling to strengthen existing asset and data pipelines with additional verification and validation.

I defined and rolled out an OBS capture template for high-quality gameplay footage, documenting the workflow and presenting it to the team. This established an internal standard for playtesting, bug reproduction and issue tracking.

Our team regularly participated in closed playtests, identifying issues that had escaped normal QA testing and providing detailed feedback supported by high-quality gameplay footage.

Contribution

I was one of four engineers on the initial team responsible for bringing Le Mans Ultimate and its proprietary engine rFactor2 to consoles. We played a major role in establishing the technical foundations for this project, with a particular focus on replacing the existing UI integration framework, Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF), with Coherent Gameface.

This required deep work across C++ engine systems and platform-specific constraints. We implemented the full Coherent Gameface rendering pipeline, wiring input, events, and resource loading; resolving threading and lifetime issues between engine and UI layers; and ensuring consistent behaviour across PC and console builds. We also re-architected multiple UI flows in HTML/SCSS/TypeScript to work within Gameface’s stricter layout and rendering model, while profiling and optimising performance, memory usage, and startup times.

Following the delivery of several key milestones to a high production standard, the project rapidly expanded from the original four-engineer team to a multidisciplinary team of more than 20 developers. I helped onboard new engineers by documenting established systems and workflows, sharing implementation knowledge, reviewing work, and supporting developers as they became familiar with the new codebase and adjacent technologies.
