What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote work (contract, full-time, freelance). I want to lead full-cycle Unity development—architecture, gameplay systems, performance optimization, and live operations support—for mobile F2P or WebGL products.

I’m a Unity Developer with 10+ years of commercial experience and 20+ shipped games across Mobile F2P and WebGL. I’ve contributed to projects played 30+ million times worldwide.

I enjoy full-cycle development—project architecture, gameplay systems, live operations support, performance optimization, and commercial releases. I’m the type of developer who cleans up foundations (refactoring, SOLID), then delivers stable, measurable gameplay outcomes.

In my recent work as a Self-employed Unity Developer (2023 - Present), I handle solo production end-to-end: architecture refactoring, gameplay and meta systems, optimization, and release support for mobile F2P and WebGL titles.

Earlier, I built and scaled hyper-casual and casual games at Playgendary (2020 - 2023), and developed gameplay systems, Unity Editor tools, graphics effects/shaders, and performance optimization at WazzApps (2017 - 2020). I bring practical experience with Addressables, live integration (ads/analytics SDKs), and multiplayer (Photon) when projects demand it.
