I worked on Sand Bullet (Unity 3D) a top-down shooter indie title and owned the full development cycle from early concept to final deployment. I built the core tech including enemy AI, a flexible weapon system, and in-game power-ups, then pushed it through release on Steam, where it picked up real user traction and feedback that helped shape polish and iteration.

I worked on a multiplayer VR Search & Rescue simulation. I built the online stack in Unreal using Epic Online Services (EOSOnlineSubsystem) and Vivox voice chat, handled session creation + server/client synchronization, and delivered key VR interactions (grabbing/manipulation) plus traversal systems like vehicles and real-world terrain streaming with Cesium to support realistic rescue missions.

Cover image for Built a Collab Viewer style

Built a Collab Viewer style toolset inside the UE5.5 project and made it reliable for dedicated-server multiplayer. I migrated/merged the Collab architecture into a my project (GameMode, PlayerController, Pawns, PlayerState), fixed reference/compile issues, and wired the tools to our custom UI for both First Person and Orbit pawns. Key work included replication/RPC cleanup so tools work over a server, plus integrating tools like annotations (text, paint and erase), transform, Datasmith runtime loading (replicated so one client’s load appears for others), measuring/dimension tool (place/edit/delete and unit switching), and bookmarks (place, list UI and teleport with rotation). A network-ready collaboration layer in custom with UI-driven workflows and server-validated replication, ready for packaging/testing and ongoing polish

Terrain Importer for Unreal Engine (Python + Custom UE Plugin) I built an end-to-end terrain importer that converts raw terrain dataset files into fully usable Unreal Engine landscapes automatically. Before this, importing and setting up ~45 landscape tiles in Unreal could take ~60 minutes and was easy to mess up. I wanted a fast, repeatable pipeline. It allows: Python reads the dataset and generates Unreal-ready .r16 heightmaps Python automation creates a new Unreal project and imports the heightmaps Custom UE plugin (C++) builds Landscapes from the imported heightmaps and places them correctly in the level Foliage: automatically placed across the terrain The workflow reduce from ~60 minutes to ~5 minutes for ~45 landscapes (~12× faster) and made it deterministic and repeatable ideal when terrain needs frequent regeneration.

Cover image for Another Indie Author project, completely

Another Indie Author project, completely different vibe for Millie Bramley. Cosy Mystery author with a very definite vision for what she wanted, but with a minimal budget. Death & Sourdough (https://www.amazon.com/stores/Millie-Bramley/author/B0GMK7DZ9Y) is a great premise and she's got such a refreshing attitude. Basic Author website, automations to pull in book data for minimal administrative overhead, MailerLite integration for newsletters. A real pleasure. https://www.milliebramley.co.uk

Indie Author Website on a budget for August Mae (https://www.augustmae.co.uk) to coincide with the launch of his Tides of Tomorrow Novella Series (https://www.amazon.com/stores/August-Mae/author/B0GKYFLPTN). I love working with Indie authors who know what they want, but have tight budget constraints. In this case I added full mailing list management, automated parsing of his book data to minimise administrative overhead. https://www.augustmae.co.uk
