During a three-month period, Giraldo contributed to the Games-at-Northeastern/What-Remains-of-Me repository by delivering targeted features and stability improvements. He upgraded scene lighting to LED for enhanced visual fidelity and performance, and designed a new GMTK puzzle scene with improved level flow and contextual lighting. Using Unity, C#, and 3D modeling, Giraldo removed restrictive dialogue gating to streamline player progression and fixed a camera override bug, ensuring reliable camera behavior across scenes. His work emphasized maintainability through focused, low-risk commits and clear documentation, resulting in smoother QA cycles and easier future refinements while supporting ongoing polish and gameplay consistency goals.

November 2025 – What Remains of Me (Games-at-Northeastern/What-Remains-of-Me) Overview: - Focused on stabilizing the camera system to deliver a reliable player experience across scenes. Delivered a targeted fix to prevent an extra camera from overriding the player camera, and tuned camera properties and related objects to improve visuals while preserving gameplay mechanics. Key contributions: - Stabilized the camera system and removed an extra override that blocked correct player camera behavior. - Refined camera properties and related scene objects to boost visual quality and maintain gameplay integrity. Impact and business value: - More reliable, interference-free camera behavior across gameplay, reducing visual glitches and edge-case failures. - Shorter QA cycles and smoother iteration since camera regressions are now isolated and easier to test. - Clear traceability with commit-level changes enabling easier rollbacks if needed. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Unity camera control, scene management, and debugging - C# scripting for camera logic - Version control discipline with granular commits (e.g., b98e628b78deb96e3cd3ebb3707385003a18e15c) - Problem triage, regression prevention, and documentation for future maintenance
