Projects

Last Haul

Visit Project open_in_new

In-development post-apocalyptic trucking survival game built around hauling cargo through a dangerous world. Last Haul blends route planning, fuel management, deliveries, survival, and horror elements, with multiplayer planned as part of the larger vision. The project combines commercial trucking concepts with a tense survival-game loop.

PremiseForge

Visit Project open_in_new

Procedural writing-prompt app built in Unreal Engine 5. PremiseForge creates structured story premises from five elements: Protagonist, Desire, Obstacle, Setting, and Complication. It includes genre filtering, reel locking, favorites, notes, persistent settings, and Android support. Originally developed as PlotForge, it was rebranded and expanded into PremiseForge.

Trucker Suite

Visit Project open_in_new

Android-first productivity app for commercial drivers, built in Unreal Engine 5. Trucker Suite combines detention tracking, load-value calculations, weekly earnings, driver profiles, persistent data, and multi-stage workflows. It is based on problems I encountered during more than six years in trucking and is being expanded toward trip management, HOS-aware feasibility, trip history, and fleet-facing tools.

Shadow Realms

Visit Project open_in_new

Long-term fantasy MMORPG project set in Eldoria, focused on exploration, player choice, progression, guilds, dungeons, raids, world events, and deep lore. Shadow Realms is being developed around a broad fantasy setting with distinct races, classes, regions, factions, and character identities, with the goal of creating a large, persistent world.

Language & Tools

C++, Java, Kotlin, Unreal Engine 5, Blueprint Visual Scripting, UMG, Android, Git, GitHub, UI/UX, Data Structures, Algorithms, Debugging, Software Testing

Currently Exploring

Advanced Unreal Engine 5 application architecture, Android mobile workflows, persistent data systems, product analytics, and ways to turn real-world problems into practical software.

Achievements

Earned an Associate of Science in Computer Science, founded Vasken Interactive Studios LLC, launched Kolaboratr, and built working software projects including Trucker Suite and PremiseForge while continuing my Game Development degree at Full Sail University while working 14 hour days as an OTR long haul truck driver.

Fun Fact

I spent more than eight years as a commercial truck driver, and Trucker Suite grew directly out of problems I dealt with on the road.

Random Dev Quote

If the user has to fight the software, the software already lost.
