What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior/lead roles building multiplayer UE5 games and blockchain-integrated gameplay systems, where I can architect core systems, mentor engineers, and ship polished gameplay experiences.

I am a senior C++ and Unreal Engine developer with leadership experience building multiplayer and blockchain-integrated games across UE4 and UE5.

I founded and led the Baboon Project (play-to-earn) and served as Lead Developer on Kiraverse, handling gameplay ability systems, smart-contracts and core gameplay features. I have built core systems such as NPC aggro, editor customizations, UI/UX, shaders and analytics while contributing to titles including work on FIFA21 and Cradle of Empires.

I work across C++, Solidity, Blueprints, XR and modern version control workflows, and I value clear architecture, mentorship and shipping robust, performant game systems. I hold a Bachelor of Architecture (2018) and prefer roles where I can architect systems and lead distributed teams.
