The code
Every system I ship uses --!strict types, server-side validation, and a consistent Controller/Service pattern.
The client sends intent, the server decides what's real. No trust, no exploits, no surprises.
--!strict
-- Tinkerpewpew
-- damage, server only
local CombatService = {}
type HitData = {
target: Humanoid,
damage: number,
crit: boolean?,
}
function CombatService:DealDamage(hit: HitData): boolean
if not self:ValidateHit(hit.target) then
return false -- bad hit
end
local mult = if hit.crit then 2 else 1
hit.target.Health -= hit.damage * mult
self:FireVFX(hit.target.RootPart.Position)
return true
end

About
I found Roblox Studio in 2018 and never really put it down. What started as "can I make the block move" turned into combat systems, then backends, then full games.
These days I build what I wish existed when I started. Mobile-first MMORPGs with clean Luau, systems you can actually maintain, UI that respects the player. I work solo or plug into existing teams.
2025
Solo MMORPG

2022
Freelance systems engineer
Combat frameworks, UI, and data backends for a rotating roster of clients.
