Ian Scilipoti

Velan Studios is a medium-sized game development studio located in Troy, NY. Velan was founded by industry veterans and has worked on titles like Mario Kart Live, Knockout City, and Hot Wheels Rift Rally.

Case Study: Viper Engine

While interning at Velan, I worked on the Viper Engine, a custom game engine built for their emerging title, Mario Kart Live. The engine was programmed in C and designed for the highest levels of optimization.

My role:

  1. Software Engineering.

Accomplishments:

  1. Implemented a search feature in the inspector for filtering properties on complex game objects.
  2. Solved bugs across the engine in UI and rendering.
  3. Engaged in bi-weekly sprints, successfully implementing features and tests within well-defined timelines.
