Game developer at Barsyq Games and creator of LED HEARTS, a sci-fi visual novel released on Steam.
What I'm looking for
I released LED HEARTS, a sci-fi visual novel, on Steam and continue developing it. I worked on its story, dialogue, branching, and characters.
At Barsyq Games, I built core gameplay mechanics in C# and Unity, worked on character and enemy behavior, and fixed bugs and optimized scripts.
As an independent developer, I built Milly, an autonomous AI VTuber with a local real-time language, voice, and speech-recognition pipeline. I own its architecture, model selection, and testing, and the project includes 610 automated tests; I also build AI-assisted software and Telegram bots for local businesses.
