Adriano Valle Hernandez

• Founded and lead an indie studio, owning full-cycle development end-to-end — engine systems, gameplay programming, build pipelines, and publishing — across multiple shipped and in-development titles.
• Mentor rotating teams of collaborators (engineers, designers, artists), establishing coding standards, reviewing contributions, and onboarding new contributors to the codebase.
• Designed core gameplay systems and branching world structures with a focus on modularity and reusability; authored internal technical documentation that enables independent implementation by team members.
• Designed and engineered Into the Dark, a tactical rogue-like featuring chess-inspired combat, modular encounter logic, and a data-driven narrative system.
• Shipped Hip-Hop On The Rocks to iOS and Android, owning the full technical pipeline from gameplay implementation through store publishing.

• Designed and built core systems for Peloton's unreleased next-gen gamified virtual-cycling experience, owning networking logic, avatar customization, and dynamic workout music end-to-end.
• Established foundational systems that supported multiple parallel prototypes, making technical decisions on system boundaries and extensibility that streamlined delivery across engineering, design, and art.
• Defined cross-functional workflows and authored internal documentation adopted by the team, mentoring peers on system usage and feature prototyping best practices.
• Translated design briefs into playable prototypes, proactively contributing gameplay enhancements beyond spec at Game Design's encouragement.
• 1st place, 2024 company-wide Hackathon — served as Designer, Producer, and Engineer, shipping player-feedback mechanics, UI/UX, audio feedback, and animation triggers in a multi-day sprint.

• Contributed to Peloton's Lanebreak Tread — its first game for Tread hardware — from prototype through launch, meeting safety and platform requirements.
• Co-developed multiple game prototypes in a small, agile team; one concept was greenlit to full production. Refactored core systems to support two game titles within a unified codebase, improving maintainability and scalability.
• Enhanced Lanebreak Bike with accessibility features and gameplay filters to improve the experience across diverse player profiles.
• Named inventor on a US patent for dynamically adjusting exercise-machine difficulty based on in-game progression.

• Core engineer on AvariaVS, a competitive PvP tactical JRPG — owned level-structure systems, camera control logic, and event-driven gameplay triggers end-to-end.
• Partnered directly with the lead writer to design and implement narrative gameplay systems, integrating lore, NPC dialogue, and story-driven mechanics into the core gameplay loop.
• Made key technical decisions on event/scripting architecture that allowed non-engineers to author narrative content without engineering support.
