What I'm looking for

I want to own Unity game development end-to-end—multiplayer gameplay, progression systems, analytics/monetization, and release pipelines—while leading teams through hiring, architecture, and shipping live operations.

I build and ship Unity games end-to-end for Space Horse, including Beam of Magic and My Dream Bank, which reached 2M combined mobile downloads.

I’ve owned gameplay, multiplayer, AI, UI, meta/progression, saves, analytics, IAP/ads, internal tools, and build/release pipelines, including live operations.

For multiplayer, I built 4-player gameplay with Photon PUN, using a master-client model and host migration, plus a custom Python/HTTP backend for metagame systems.

I’ve also optimized performance hard—sustaining 30 FPS on 2015-era phones, cutting build size from 500MB to 120MB, reducing memory, load times, and network traffic—while leading teams of up to 7 through hiring, reviews, mentoring, and architecture.
