"I want to make games that make people happy."
I'm Brody Silva, a game programming student at Champlain College focused on gameplay programming, game systems, and tools. I mostly work in C++ and C#, with Unreal Engine, Unity, and OpenGL.
This past summer I was a Software Engineering Intern at Simmonds Precision Products, where I built a hardware emulation layer that let our test suite run on $77 consumer hardware instead of $150k proprietary machines.
At Ubisoft GameLabs Competition 2026, my team won 2 of the 10 awards, Best Quality of 3C's (character, camera, controls) and Best Art Direction and Production ($10,000), plus 6 other nominations among 24 participating teams.
I really enjoy building the systems that hold up a game and make other people's jobs easier, and especially the work that makes a game fun.
I'm always interested in any game development opportunities, so please reach out!
