My name is Cody Oliver and I’m a gameplay and UI systems programmer focused on building responsive, scalable player-facing systems. Over the past four years, I’ve worked as a generalist engineer on cross-disciplinary teams, delivering features across frontend UI, gameplay, and engine-level systems. My work spans Unreal, Unity and proprietary tech, where I’ve owned UI architecture, implemented event-driven systems, and connected gameplay, backend, and frontend layers to support live-service development. I enjoy translating design goals into clean, maintainable systems that can evolve alongside a game’s needs.
I’ve contributed to projects like College Football 25 and the live-service battle royale Rumbleverse, developing everything from data-driven UI flows to full controller support in complex legacy systems. My background includes building custom engine systems in C++, designing runtime architectures, and creating flexible tooling to support iteration at scale. I’m especially interested in solving the challenges where UI, gameplay, and systems design intersect—whether that’s input handling, state management, or building frameworks that empower teams to move faster.
