Production experience
University studio productions built with multidisciplinary teams, shared pipelines and real deadlines.
COMATOSE · 15-person team
Designed the open-world experience within a building, built environmental content, integrated systems and created player-facing menus in Unity.
About Damned Time · 13-person team
Led the art pipeline and designed a complete four-floor haunted-house level, while contributing menus, movement, shooting and sanity-system balancing.
Technical evidence
Verified implementation responsibilities from two multidisciplinary Unity productions, plus the responsive portfolio system designed and programmed from scratch.
Built startup and pause menus for both capstones, including player-facing audio controls and reliable transitions between gameplay and menu states.
Supported character movement in both games, implemented shooting behavior, and balanced movement speed against the sanity system in About Damned Time.
Authored production assets, integrated them in Unity, and contributed lighting, VFX, audio and collision-ready scene assembly across shared team pipelines.
I built the original site from scratch and continue to use it as a working HTML, CSS and JavaScript project with responsive layouts, filtering and media handling.

About Ekraj
I’m a Toronto-based game creator focused on creepy, atmospheric worlds. My work moves between modeling, level design, real-time implementation, UI and gameplay—because the strongest environments are shaped by how they look, feel and play.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Interactive Arts and Science from Brock University, concentrating in 3D Art and Expression.
