Worked on the IMBIT-Mannheim/pixels repository, delivering gameplay features, UI enhancements, and deployment automation over four months. Developed keyboard-driven player movement, responsive animations, and a multi-level progression system using JavaScript, focusing on animation state management and collision detection. Enhanced the dialogue system to support multi-question flows, HTML rendering, and in-dialogue resource downloads, while improving localization and asset distribution. Maintained repository hygiene by removing obsolete AWS Amplify configuration files and streamlining onboarding. Automated development deployments with GitHub Actions and FTP workflows, improving reliability and reducing manual steps. Demonstrated skills in front-end development, configuration management, CI/CD, and documentation throughout the project.
April 2025: Implemented automated development deployment workflow for IMBIT-Mannheim/pixels using GitHub Actions to deploy to a private FTP server, addressing the limitation of GitHub Pages for multi-site repos. Also fixed deployment workflow to target the correct local build artifacts and directory, improving reliability of dev deployments.

Month 2024-10 — IMBIT-Mannheim/pixels: Delivered major feature work and quality improvements across gameplay, animation state handling, and testing infrastructure. Key features include: 1) Documentation and animation state handling improvements refactoring animation checks to use getCurAnim().name, reducing redundant plays and aligning with updated NodeJS version in README; 2) Player movement and level progression enhancements introducing keyboard controls for dog movement, responsive animations, and a new Level 2 with movement, collision detection, boundary dialogues, and camera-follow; 3) Testing scene and map loading enhancements adding a dedicated testing scene, support for 'goto' layers in the main scene, and new test map assets. While no critical bugs were reported, the work emphasizes stability, performance, and maintainability through refactor and test coverage. Demonstrated technologies/skills include: JavaScript/TypeScript-like game logic, scene and input handling, animation state management, collision detection, camera behavior, and test asset workflows.
