As a Senior Gameplay Engineer at Karta, I was responsible for designing and implementing core gameplay mechanics for titles such as Pinata Smashlings, Planet Hugo, and another Hugo project. I led the development of engaging player interactions, game systems, and features using industry-standard game engines and programming languages. My role involved collaborating with designers and artists to prototype new gameplay concepts, conducting regular playtesting, and iterating based on feedback to refine mechanics and ensure an exceptional player experience. I optimized game performance by profiling and troubleshooting code to improve frame rates, memory usage, and loading times, while implementing best practices in software architecture for efficient gameplay systems. Additionally, I worked closely with cross-functional teams, integrating assets, implementing features, and ensuring the technical feasibility of creative visions. My problem-solving skills were crucial in providing technical solutions to complex gameplay challenges, including physics, animation, and artificial intelligence, resulting in polished and high-quality gameplay experiences.
