Unity game developer and designer building high-retention mobile experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Unity Game Developer & Designer and Co-Founder at Exego Games, with 3+ years building mobile titles across hyper/hybrid casual. I’ve contributed to 3 published games (Fire Flow Merge, Tiny Galaxy, Cyberpunk Surfer) and led multiple game systems from core loop to live publishing tests.
At Exego Games, I focus on performance optimization and gameplay iteration—running mobile optimization with DOTS/Burst/Job System, profiling tools, and rendering techniques like batching, instancing, LOD, and baked lighting. I also collaborate closely with artists and designers on VFX, UI, 3D assets, and on economy/progression/level balancing, using CPI/retention data from publishers to guide improvements to onboarding, pacing, and rewards.
I developed Tiny Galaxy full-time through OGEM’s incubation program with weekly mentoring, playtests, and milestones, and I’ve worked with publishers like Voodoo and Boombit on publishing tests. I’m energized by user-centered design, strong progression, and shipping experiences that stay readable, responsive, and fun on low-end mobile devices.
