Niamh Brady Portfolio

Engineering player experiences through code, logic, and psychology.

I am a Game Development graduate specializing in gameplay programming, technical systems design, and data-driven user research. Using Unreal Engine 5 and Blueprints, I build robust game mechanics and analyze how core software interactions dynamically shape player immersion and emotional engagement.

Explore my featured work below to see technical breakdowns of my implementation pipelines, core system architecture, and UX research methodologies.
