Aadesh Y.

Lead Gameplay Programmer with 5+ years building production-ready systems in Unreal Engine 4 & 5. I specialize in the hard technical problems most developers avoid GAS ability architectures, client-side prediction with custom network serialization, CharacterMovementComponent tuning, and Slate UI editor tools that help teams ship faster. What I Build: Multiplayer & Networking → Dedicated server architecture, EOS lobby/matchmaking, client-side prediction, server reconciliation, custom NetSerialize, FFastArraySerializer, anti-cheat implementation Gameplay Ability System (GAS) → Full ability architectures — GameplayEffects, Attributes, Cues, Modifier Magnitude Calculations, AbilityTasks, input buffering, cooldown & cost systems, LocalPredicted execution Custom Editor Tools → Slate UI visual graph editors, K2Nodes with compile-time validation, property customizations (IPropertyTypeCustomization / IDetailCustomization), asset factories, editor toolbars, content validation frameworks Combat & Movement → CharacterMovementComponent tuning, custom movement modes, combat system design, animation blueprints & BlendSpaces, physics-based movement, camera feel (FOV, lag, shake) AI Systems → Behavior Trees, NavMesh navigation, stealth systems (sight & sound), enemy AI patterns, companion AI, scripted sequences Ideal Projects: Multiplayer game development (dedicated servers, EOS, replication) GAS ability system architecture and implementation Custom editor tools and pipeline tooling Combat and movement system programming AI system development (Behavior Trees, NavMesh) Performance optimization and cross-platform shipping Full-cycle game development from prototype to launch
