Work History
Taffy Tails - Full Stack Developer at b0dgers (Dec 2023 to Jun 2026)
I was the main scripter for this story game project, which now has over 55 million visits and reached a peak of about 2,000 concurrent players. I wrote most of the game’s code (30,000+ lines of Luau) and reviewed pull requests from 2 other coders. While I worked on this project I discovered a lot of Roblox engine bugs and figured out how to rapidly work around them to keep the game running. I also handled refactoring the whole game to add new modes, including roleplay mode, PVP mode, and the Chapter 2 content.

RoMart - Experience Developer (Sep 2022 to Present)
I am the sole programmer for this project, which I co-created with an artist named starrycats (all of the code is mine, the art is theirs). This is the best game I have ever scripted and designed to this day, but it is still a work in progress.

Unreleased Games - Full Stack Developer (Nov 2023 to Mar 2024)
The 2 games described below are fully scripted by myself and I developed them with a business partner. These games are not released because my business partner could not afford to finish and promote them, but I learned a lot while developing them.
- Duel Ball: This game’s design was a hybrid inspired by Murderers vs. Sheriffs and Blade Ball. It features moderately complex code for efficiently managing a large number of players to enable server-only matchmaking for faster replay times.
- Question Game: 2 players are picked to answer a question, and the other players pick a side to fight for. The winners are the last side standing.
Rogue Paradox - Gameplay Programmer at Roforco (Jan 2022 to Apr 2022)
I was the sole scripter for this interactive story experience, collaborating with Roforco’s creative team: 3D artists, a game designer, a UI designer, and a creative writer. This was a brand collaboration with Replica. Don’t worry, the pictures are not spoilers!

Magic Kingdom - Gameplay Programmer at Roforco (Nov 2021 to Jan 2022)
I collaborated with Roforco’s artists to heavily optimize Magic Kingdom and fix bugs. I also scripted the park’s tour system using Replica’s AI-generated text-to-speech software.

Robloxian High School - Gameplay Programmer at RedManta (Aug 2020 to Oct 2020)
I fixed bugs and extensively optimized Robloxian High School’s old avatar editor and improved its UI scaling.
