During my first year at USC, I volunteered to be the lead engineer on the MFA Thesis Courier: Dragons Within. This involved managing a team of six engineers, as well as communicating with other leads and our director to make sure that we were meeting our experience goals and expectations. For the engineering part of my title, I implemented a variety of features, including a conversation system with commands to allow the narrative team to work in engine, the walking AI for the character Tag, and altering our bike plugin to get the feel that was best for the game. Courier: Dragons Within was made in the Unity game engine, and we are currently working to release it on Steam in 2025.

During the year between my undergraduate completion and starting graduate school, I worked on the project Blackjack Table during the 2022 San Jose State University Summer Games Workshop. We were tasked with creating a game in six weeks following the Agile methodology, and I served as producer, programmer, and narrative designer on the project. The game was made in Unreal Engine 5, and the scripting was done through Unreal's blueprint system. I worked on the narrative aspects of the game, including writing and implementing multiple endings depending on the attitude of the bartender, as well as making sure the game was completed in the six weeks allotted to us, which we accomplished.
