Solo Project

January - May 2026

“Turing Complex” is a single-player quest in Starfield that I worked on for 4 months in Creation Kit. The initial design includes 5 interior rooms and shoots for 15 minutes of gameplay total. In this level, I used the 3-step teaching pattern to help players learn, reinforce, and expand on the usage of turret hacking as a gameplay theme, and allowed players to unravel a mystery through environmental storytelling.

Solo Project

October - December 2025

“Area 51” is a single-player level for Half-Life 2 set during the events of Route Kanal, shortly after Gordon Freeman escapes City 17’s canals. Taking refuge in an abandoned apartment complex, Gordon must navigate infested hallways, solve battery puzzles, and fight through a Combine-controlled parking garage to reach a resistance safe route. I worked on this project for 3 months using Hammer++.
