Platforms: Available on Steam, Epic Games, Xbox, and Playstation
Role: Gameplay Programmer II
Contributions: Throughout my time on the project, I led the gameplay porting process for three gods from SMITE 1 (UE3) to SMITE 2 (UE5), as well as spearheaded the gameplay development for Mordred, a SMITE 2 exclusive god. In both cases, I collaborated closely with artists, designers, and QA to ensure a smooth and successful release for these characters. Beyond my responsibilities in the god pipeline, I frequently worked across departments, contributing to significant improvements in systems such as the ranked and role preference features in SMITE 2.
Working on SMITE 2 was a career highlight for me. Having played its predecessor for nearly a decade before joining the team, I was thrilled to contribute to its evolution. It was an incredible experience to collaborate with some of the best and brightest in the industry on what I believe was a passion project for everyone involved.
