With the same team from Antifreeze, I’ve been working on a fast-paced multiplayer action RPG with the following features:

• Steam networking with Online Subsystem for session hosting, server lists, and session joining
• Gameplay Ability System (used in Fortnite and Paragon) for replicated, server-authoritative abilities including magic spells and melee attacks

In the video below, we show our first PvP match-based game mode, a classic free-for-all. In the future we plan to add more game modes including PvE missions, more classes, and upgrade trees.

Uploading quality educational game dev tutorials on YouTube. Topics covered so far include material shader animation, instanced static meshes, randomized material instances, animation retargeting, health/damage systems, and saving/loading game.

Our approach emphasizes solid conceptual understanding, best coding practices, and optimizing performance through profiling.

At Radical Motion, I developed a LiveLink integration using C/C++ for Radical Studio, a desktop app that uses deep learning to generate real-time 3D animation data from video. The LiveLink integration allows the animation data to be live streamed to an Unreal Engine editor session, and the data can then be applied to a character in a 3D scene.

I demonstrate the functionality and setup process for the integration in this tutorial video:

I developed Antifreeze, an FPS movement puzzler, for the Unreal Spring Game Jam in June 2020. The core mechanic is freezing or melting objects using a Portal-inspired gun. I was responsible for the following aspects:

• Environmental interaction using Blueprint Interfaces
• Material shaders for water, ice, and freezing transition
• Level design

The game was developed over the course of five days with a team of three developers including myself, and it’s currently available for free download on itch.io. You can also check out this gameplay clip!

At Voodoo Manufacturing, I developed a 6DOF robot that can trim clear plastic aligners to sub-millimeter accuracy using an ABB robot with the ROS framework (C++ and Python). I owned the project and was responsible for all aspects including path planning, simulation, calibration, , digital I/O, and cloud integration using WebSockets.

During a previous internship at Voodoo while in school, I also developed a 6DOF robot arm to operate a cell of nine 3D printers using ROS with Python and OpenCV. The hardware consists of a Universal Robots UR10 arm, Robotiq gripper, and Basler machine vision camera.

Here’s a demo video:

Pulled Over is a 360-degree narrative short film about four high school students driving home from practice when a routine traffic stop takes a turn for the worse.

It’s the story for many black Americans for whom prejudice is an everyday occurrence; whether it’s a suspicious gaze or tragic act of violence.

For people whose skin color grants them immunity from unjustified scrutiny, it can be difficult to imagine what experiencing discrimination is like. I made this film to foster more empathy and understanding of the oppressions black Americans face.

Healios provides effective and accessible mental health care, focusing on recovery after traumatic experiences.

This prototype for a mental health treatment platform was a Global Finalist at the 2019 IBM Call for Code competition. Healios placed 4th overall out of 5000+ projects and 180,000+ participants.

We were interviewed by IBM at their NYC offices, as well as featured on IBM’s blog

And I was on the news!

The team consisted of (left to right) Kevin Kim, myself, Tony Park, Christopher McKinney, and Sunjae Shim.

For my senior design project in the Mechanical Engineering major at Columbia University, my team designed, built, and programmed a 4-axis robot that could throw pottery.

We used two end effectors, shaped like a palm and a finger, to press the clay into pre-programmed shapes including a vase, cup, and bowl.

Check out the robot in action!
