Andrew Forbess: Gameplay Engineer & Systems Designer
Maximizing Your Wealth
Andrew is a student developer with a strong foundation in C# and Unity. He's analytical, quiet but sharp, and was brought in for his ability to execute game logic fast. He has experience in input systems, menus, and state machines, and quickly got up to speed with the MVP framework you've laid out. He is technical, curious, and willing to push beyond the tutorial level.
Responsibilities & Impact:

Responsibilities & Potential Impact:
Design systems to track in-game streaks, savings, and milestones.
Build or connect to Firebase backend for cloud save or leaderboard logic.
Prototype Plaid or banking API hooks (for eventual real-life financial interaction).

Levi has a background in graphic design, 2D animation, and mobile-first interface design. He’s skilled in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and Unity UI tools.
