About
As an AI Programmer, I build engaging and realistic AI behaviors for various platforms, including PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Series, PC, mobile, and VR. I use Unreal Engine 5, C++ and Blueprint visual scripting to create dynamic and adaptive AI systems that enhance the gameplay and immersion of the players. I also collaborate with other programmers, designers, and artists to ensure the quality and performance of the AI features and components.
