Top SchoolRyan Pfeifer is a Technical Combat Designer with nine years of game development experience, blending a Computer Science degree from Texas A&M with a game design minor to bridge engineering and design. He’s shipped gameplay systems and prototypes across MMORPG and multiplayer projects, contributing gameplay programming, AI, UI, combat systems, tools, and technical documentation using Unreal Engine (C++/Blueprints) and Unity.

Based in Austin, he’s transitioned from gameplay engineer roles into technical design, bringing a pragmatic mix of backend experience (Node.js, Redis, MongoDB) and client-side expertise to craft playable systems. He’s curious, collaborative, and focused on turning design goals into robust, reusable systems that scale across genres and team sizes.
