On GMU Drift, I served as Lead Programmer, managing tasks, milestones, and cross-disciplinary coordination while overseeing the implementation of core gameplay systems, including power-ups, AI opponents, and race logic, ensuring they met design specifications and project goals. I was responsible for maintaining development momentum by removing technical roadblocks, prioritizing programming tasks, and keeping the project on track for release. I guided the project from prototype to a feature-complete vertical slice showcased at the GMU GADIG JamFest Charity Stream, culminating in a polished final release presented at the GMU GAME Expo.
