RB Battles Season 3
Senior Front-End Programmer
The RB Battles experience is an event game with 84 million visits with a peak concurrent player count of 50k. This event occurred in conjunction with a Youtuber event where Roblox Youtubers compete in various challenges for prizes.
​
The Experience itself is a collection of Minigames mixed with experimental ARG elements and platformer challenges.
Players are able to compete and unlock secret puzzles that leads up to the release of the Final Battle! (A singleplayer game where players unlock rare items along the way).
​
We also partnered with both Roblox and various Roblox Studios to integrate their games and items into the event itself. This is done both for the Youtube portion and the ARG portion of the game.
​
Season 3 of this event took place between December 2022 and January 2023. It had a peak concurrent player count of 50,000 players and holds a total visitor count of over 84 million players as of March 2023, with 100s of thousands of unique players joining every day during the event.

Roblox Module
DebuGui
A GUI module I created for quick and easy debugging. This was heavily inspired by the Dear ImGui library for C++, but implemented to work in the Roblox Environment.
​
This was created with the purpose of easily allowing scripts to access custom GUI windows where users can create small widgets that read or modify data in their experience at a whim with little overhead.
​
The module contains a variety of different gizmos for different tasks. All of which can be seen on my github page along with a straightforward tutorial on how to use it.
Roblox Accelerator (2020)
School of Sorcery
An experimental third person spell casting game created in Roblox Studio where you collect artifacts and throw them in a moving balloon.
This project was created by me and 3 other developers with additional support from designers, engineers, and managers on the Roblox platform.
