V4LKdev/README.md

Hey there, I’m Nic (Valk) 👋

I’m a programmer focused on networking, engine-level systems, and technical gameplay systems.

Most of my work so far has been in C++, mainly with Unreal Engine, where I’ve built multiplayer systems, gameplay frameworks, tools, and the occasional weird technical experiment. I’m also starting to explore Rust / Bevy.

I’m especially into:

  • Multiplayer and netcode
  • Engine-level and low-level technical systems
  • Tooling and clean, debuggable workflows
  • Gameplay systems with strong underlying architecture
  • Audio / music tech experiments
  • Self-hosted workflows and servers
  • Anything Linux

Some featured work below:

  • BombermanMultiplayer – authoritative client-server multiplayer in C++ / SDL2 with ENet, including prediction, diagnostics, and documentation
  • UE5-AbilitySystemFramework-Slice – Gameplay Ability System sample work and gameplay architecture patterns, fully network-ready
  • TankAI-DecisionMaking – AI decision-making sample with a debugging and tooling focus in raylib
  • UnrealJUCE-Lab – Unreal Engine plugin experiment for low-latency audio, VST instruments, and MIDI integration using JUCE

Currently working on an asynchronous networked game in Rust / Bevy.
