Bubble Jumping game that Won Best Gameplay and Game Design at 2025 Global Game Jam Nairobi

I participated in the 2025 Global Game Jam Nairobi with my team, Rowdy Rebels, and we won Best Game Design and Best Gameplay for our game, Ruka. I developed the mechanics, environment, character, and animations for the game, where a girl jumps on floating bubbles that pop into smaller ones

INVESTIGATING THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN PERSONALITY TRAITS, VIDEOGAME PREFERENCES, AND GAME ENVIRONMENT USING MACHINE LEARNING AND GENETIC ALGORITHMS.

The study aimed to identify personality profiles within a large OCEAN dataset and build a prediction model with the use of Machine Learning or Deep Learning algorithms. A genetic algorithm was used to automatically generate a player-centric game environment suited for the personality profiles and a videogame was developed to visually represent the game environment and make it playable.

Turn-Based RPG

This was a project I did based on a Unity developer job application test. It was a cool experience and I learned a lot from it: mainly how to use scriptable objects and pathfinding algorithms. I also learned more about optimizing code from the feedback I got on the project.

A Gamified Study Application

The project aims to explore gamification as a strategy to enhance student engagement and study habits at the university level. By implementing simple yet captivating games, the goal is to make studying more enjoyable, encouraging students to practice and learn while having fun. The primary objective is to increase intrinsic motivation, fostering a genuine passion for academic work, as opposed to relying solely on external pressures. This approach seeks to address the common issue of students working under stress and pressure, which can lead to negative mental health outcomes such as stress, depression, and anxiety.

3D modeling Projects

Some of the 3D modeling I've done using Blender as a hobby through self-learning.
