Creator, Lead Developer & Creative Director of Colors of Our Memories, a VR narrative experience built entirely in Unity for Meta Quest and PCVR. I designed and implemented all core gameplay systems using C#, developing custom interaction mechanics, narrative triggers, physics-based object systems, progression logic, and scene management from the ground up. Working hands-on in engine, I built and integrated player interactions, UI flows, environmental storytelling systems, puzzle logic, and performance-optimized VR mechanics. The project required designing scalable architecture to support narrative branching, interactive memory sequences, and immersive world-building while maintaining frame-rate stability for standalone VR hardware. Beyond technical implementation, I led a diverse international team across design, art, and audio — setting the creative vision, managing pipelines, coordinating remote collaboration, and ensuring cohesion between narrative intent and gameplay systems

Narrative Designer & Writer at Supermassive Games on Directive 8020, part of The Dark Pictures Anthology. While responsible for narrative design and scripting, a significant part of my role involved hands-on technical implementation within Unreal Engine and the studio’s proprietary narrative design tools. I structured branching narrative flows, gameplay-triggered story logic, and interactive cinematic sequences directly in-engine, ensuring seamless integration between story systems and gameplay mechanics. Working within a large-scale AAA production pipeline, I used Perforce for version control, managed complex narrative data structures, tracked implementation across multiple departments, and collaborated daily with design, animation, engineering, audio, and cinematics teams to ensure alignment between narrative intent and technical execution. My work required balancing creative vision with production realities — implementing content efficiently, debugging narrative logic, maintai

VR Narrative Designer & Game Designer on the award-winning Peaky Blinders: The King's Ransom at Maze Theory. I designed and implemented narrative-driven gameplay systems directly in Unity, using C# to build and integrate interactive sequences, mission flow, dialogue logic, and player-triggered story events. My role focused on ensuring that narrative and mechanics were fully intertwined — designing quests, branching pathways, and immersive VR interactions tailored specifically for Meta Quest hardware. Beyond writing and co-developing the story, I worked hands-on in engine to prototype, refine, and ship gameplay features, collaborating closely with programmers, designers, and artists to maintain performance, immersion, and narrative cohesion in a VR environment.
