I am Noah Fischer, an accomplished Unreal Engine Developer with a comprehensive background that blends over six years of expertise in film and video editing with a deep passion for game development. My journey in the realm of game creation is underscored by a mastery of Unreal Engine 5, where I specialize in leveraging both Blueprints and C++ to breathe life into immersive game experiences. With a knack for Python and a wide array of design and development tools, I excel in programming engaging gameplay mechanics, crafting dynamic environments, and integrating captivating visual and audio elements that enhance storytelling and gameplay.

My practical experience includes serving as an Unreal Engine Lab Instructor at Vertex School, where I guided over 20 students through the intricacies of level design, landscape creation, and advanced programming within Unreal Engine 5. My tenure in this role was marked by my students' successful development of unique gameplay and environmental features for their final projects, a testament to the effectiveness of my instruction and mentorship.

Moreover, my project portfolio showcases a variety of games where my programming skills have been pivotal. Highlights include "Sticky Situation," a TPS action game developed for the Global Game Jam 2024, where I led programming efforts to implement combat systems, enemy AI, player mechanics, and audio integration. Additionally, my work on "Breakaway - System Malfunction," an FPS action platformer, saw me programming advanced parkour and combat systems, alongside creating tools in Python to optimize development processes.

As a graduate of the Unreal Engine Game Development Program at Vertex School, I honed my skills in Blueprints, C++, Python APIs, audio implementation, and material creation, among others. My academic background in Graphic Communication, with a concentration in Web and Digital Media, from California Polytechnic State University, further complements my technical skills with a solid foundation in visual and graphic communication.

Whether you're looking to develop next-generation games, create engaging gameplay experiences, or bring innovative ideas to life, my expertise in Unreal Engine development ensures that your vision becomes a reality. Let's collaborate to make your project a standout success.
