Hi, I’m Louis Charles! I am a Game/Level Design graduate and a Senior Unreal Engine Developer specializing in VR development, with expertise in both Unreal Engine 4 and 5. I bring a strong background in simulation, interactive training, and gamified VR experiences, with hands-on experience in agile scrum practices and team management. I recently served as a Senior VR Developer for KaleidoscopeXR, where I focused on medical simulation projects that required a deep understanding of immersive interactions and procedural design. My work includes developing the Caregiver VR Dementia module, which simulated symptoms like hallucinations to enhance caregiver empathy, as well as the Case Western University Medical Helicopter Pre-flight Check, a comprehensive training simulation for emergency response. Notable Projects: Aries VR (2022) – Lead Developer for Quest VR Flight Instruction State Street Bank VR Experience (2021-2022) – Lead Developer, presented on Valve Index at Exchange: An ETF Experience in Miami Neverboard (2020-2021) – VR Technical Designer for Oculus Quest, a social VR board game platform, released in September 2021 Unending (2020-2021) – Game Designer/Team Lead/Producer on a VR project (cancelled) Winner - Global Game Jam 2020 with Step 9 (see Portfolio) I’m available for exciting new projects, whether they involve VR training, interactive content, or game prototyping. If you’re looking for a developer who can bring immersive, high-quality VR experiences to life, let’s connect—I’d be thrilled to help make your vision a reality!

Top Rated Unity game developer with 100% JSS and $10K+ earned. I help indie studios turn a core mechanic or existing build into a responsive, pitch-ready prototype or vertical slice, with clear milestones and production-safe implementation. I’m strongest when a project has a clear creative goal but needs someone who can connect design intent with practical execution. I work across Unity and Unreal Engine, collaborate with existing teams, and take ownership of focused prototypes, vertical slices, or production milestones. I can help with: • Core gameplay loops, mechanics, systems, and level flow • Prototypes and vertical slices for publishers, investors, or playtests • Gameplay programming, debugging, and stabilization • Game design documents and implementation-ready feature specifications • UI/UX, game feel, lighting, technical art, and level polish • Mobile and PC optimization and milestone delivery Why teams hire me: • Top Rated with 100% Job Success and $10K+ earned on Upwork • Trusted on multi-thousand-dollar game development and prototype contracts • AAA production experience at Ubisoft and experience on shipped indie games • Production experience in both Unity and Unreal Engine • Clear scopes, playable checkpoints, responsive communication, and honest risk reporting I work best with funded teams that value quality, ownership, and reliable delivery. Send me your concept, build or gameplay video, target platform, and next milestone. I’ll recommend the smallest paid step that meaningfully reduces risk.
