Welcome to Shawn Futeran – Developer Portfolio
💻 Computer Science BSc Student | Aspiring Software Engineer | Passionate about Game Development & Cybersecurity
About Me
I’m a passionate Computer Science BSc student at Wilfrid Laurier University, aspiring to innovate at the intersection of software engineering, cybersecurity, and game development.
I’ve published two games on Steam, Shadow Protocol and Zombie Smash, where I took ownership of the entire development cycle from concept to release. For both projects, I designed and implemented complete game architectures, built core mechanics, and integrated custom assets to bring the games to life. I managed the release process on Steam, including preparing builds, creating store pages, and ensuring compliance with platform requirements. Beyond the technical aspects, I focused on crafting engaging player experiences by balancing gameplay, incorporating feedback, and polishing features for playability and replay value. These projects have not only strengthened my skills in programming and game design, but also taught me valuable lessons in project management, attention to detail, and delivering a finished product to a real-world audience.
I’m proficient in Java, Python, C++, C, C#, and skilled in tools like Git,GitLab, GitHub, Eclipse, Unity, and Visual Studio Code. My background includes developing games, apps, and software solutions, with a strong foundation in data structures, problem-solving, and system design.
Outside of code, I bring experience in mentorship, project coordination, and team communication, critical skills I apply both in my leadership roles and as a collaborative developer. I’m driven by the mission to create real-world tech solutions that are not only functional, but meaningful.
