Software engineer & game designer

Kimberly Burke

My name is Kim. I am a software engineer with a focus on gameplay programming. I have found my niche in front end development – UI, level design, game controls and more.

I completed my bachelor’s at Georgia Institute of Technology in Computational Media and completed my master’s at the Centre for Digital Media. I am always honing my Unity skills and creating many high fidelity prototypes, such as a multiplayer food truck game, a mouse-protagonist 3D platformer, and a mobile game for studying neuroscience.

 

I am passionate about video games, primarily on my Xbox, and enjoy speeding my free time making art and speed paints.

Projects

Cerebro: The Virtual Lab

Client from UBC MedIT Emerging Lab request to transform the UBC neuroscience course into a mobile video game for students to use for learning and reviewing. First two chapters cover neuroanatomy by flying a nanorobot through target brain and spine structures.

AR Mannequin

A Hololens AR experience for facilitating the learning of CPR developed by UBC MedIT Emerging Lab. Incorporates the use of a QCPR Mannequin, Hololens device and tablet. The facilitator will use the tablet to recreate scenarios requiring learners to act upon the mannequin.

build the tower

One of my first fully programmed games. Simple single level design with tiled background themed around a gold mine. Loosely based off Minecraft with its block-based gameplay.

Gardenia

In Gardenia, the titular mouse runs around the human world collecting herbs to help fellow mice and rats. Her mousy stature allows her to run fast, climb almost any surface and explore every nook and cranny of her surroundings. There are foes that will steal Gardenia’s herbs, so she must use her stealth and ingenuity to complete her mission.

Get Trucked

Compete with friends to be the best food truck in town. Drive around town earning money and holding food fights to claim the best hot spots in the city. Currently a two player local multiplayer experience.
