Unreal Engine 5 C++ Developer
With a rich background as a C++ game developer, 3 years ago I transitioned
into a focused role as a gameplay programmer within the UE5.
My approach is to identify decisions that complement the existing
environment or construct one if it doesn't exist. I'm using SOLID instructions
widely to be consistent with the OOP basis of the engine, including class level,
modules, data, networking, or even project management.

Main Skills:
● Unreal Engine 5
○ Multiplayer C++ gameplay
○ Blueprint and editor
○ Modules/Plugins creating and support
○ Animation System
○ Experience with well-known plugins (Enhanced Input, GAS, etc.)
○ Engine research and modification
○ Unreal build tool/integrating raw API libs
● Technical
○ C++ good understanding, STL, Template programming
○ Linear algebra, analytic geometry
○ Python/С/C#/Lua (as additional tools)
● Methodologies
○ Extensive experience with OOP/OOD/GoF patterns
○ Hands-on experience with SDLC
○ Agile mindset/Estimation techniques awareness
Other:
Perforce, Git, SVN, Optimization/Profiling, Debugging, Reverse engineering
experience, VR, Multithreading, 4A Engine, CryEngine 2.5, VBS3 C++ API, Unity3D
(Basic), GLM, Boost Asio, Network programming, HID, PS5 Dualsence Haptic
Feedback, Linux user.
