My name is Cody Oliver, and I’m a gameplay and UI engineer focused on building responsive, scalable player-facing systems. Over the past five years, I’ve worked on cross-disciplinary teams developing frontend UI, gameplay, and engine-level features across Unreal, Unity, and proprietary technology.
My experience includes UI architecture, event-driven systems, gameplay integration, and live-service feature development. I enjoy translating design goals into clean, maintainable systems that can evolve alongside a game’s needs.
I’ve contributed to projects including College Football 25 and the live-service battle royale Rumbleverse, developing systems ranging from data-driven UI flows to full controller support for complex legacy interfaces. My background also includes building custom engine systems in C++, runtime architectures, and tooling that supports rapid iteration.
I’m especially interested in problems where UI, gameplay, and systems design intersect — including input handling, state management, and framework development that helps teams move faster.
