Game systems programmer. I build the parts of a game that have to be frame-perfect: rollback netcode, deterministic engines, input and audio.
I spent nearly four years on Idol Showdown at Besto Games. Now I work on distributed block storage at AWS, and I’m open to new work and consulting.
A free, fan-made hololive fighting game with rollback netcode. It has more than 1.2 million downloads and a 9/10 rating on Steam.
As a systems programmer at Besto Games I built input handling on SDL and the Wwise audio integration, worked on the UI, wrote debugging and tracking tools inside the Unity Editor, and made a bug tracker that sent designers’ reports straight into our CI/CD pipeline.
Open-source rollback netcode for Unity, written in C# for Idol Showdown. It replaced the game’s GGPO integration to get rid of relay latency and multi-frame rollback bugs.
I worked on speculative frame saving, input prediction, keeping both peers’ clocks in step, and a 7-frame input buffer that rides out lost and out-of-order packets.

A 2D engine on MonoGame with ECS and 2D physics, built around a deterministic core: a fixed-tick loop, rollback state hooks and a fixed-point math library.
Helper classes and systems I reuse across Unity projects.
My own 2D engine in C# on Vulkan, and a farm defense game built on it with an artist friend.
2025 to now
Software development engineer, Elastic Block Store
I work on the EBS Durability Engine in C++. I designed a metadata sync pipeline for replication across availability zones, moved intent deletion off the write path into async garbage collection, built the metrics and alerting for the B-Tree Clone rollout, and tracked down flaky integration tests caused by memory-safety bugs and races.
2020 to 2024
Systems programmer, Idol Showdown
I built input, audio, UI and editor tools for a fighting game with 1.2 million downloads, and worked on its rollback netcode.
2021 to 2023
B.S. in Software Engineering

Human resource manager
I processed performance reports for 4,100 people and handled more than $32,000 a week in special pay inquiries. I earned the Air Force Achievement Medal and was picked from 500+ candidates to train and mentor 180 university students at Maxwell Air Force Base.
