Personal Project
Ah, the personal project. The perfect opportunity to procrastinate on all your other responsibilities while convincing yourself that you're actually being productive.
Ability System and Inventory System Using Unreal Engine
I created this demo during a job interview in 2020. It showcases my ability to develop an ability using Unreal's Ability System and inventory system in games. The player can collect abilities by moving over them and then activating them using specific keys. Flying abilities are activated by pressing 1 or 4, while ground abilities are activated by pressing 2 or 3. The player can also activate or deactivate abilities using the spacebar. However, only one ability of each type can be activated at a time.

This Demo demonstrates how to achieve multithreading in Unreal Engine. It uses FRunnableThread to manage the thread. The number variable on the character is incremented on different threads. Also demonstrates the sleeping of thread and section lock.
Faux Gravity Example Using Unity3D
The Planet (Faux) Gravity Demo Project is a simple demonstration of how to create a planet-like gravity effect in Unity. The project involves creating a small planet with a gravitational pull that affects objects around it, such as a player character or other physics-based objects. The gravity effect is achieved using custom scripts and physics settings within Unity, and can be modified and adjusted to suit different project requirements. The purpose of the project is to provide a starting point for developers who want to create games or simulations that involve realistic gravitational effects, without having to start from scratch.
This is a simple quiz application that utilizes Phaser 3 and Webpack for its development. The quiz is designed to have multiple choice questions, with only one correct answer for each question. The questions are loaded from a JSON file that can be easily modified to fetch from a server.
