At Meeting the Innovation, I’m rewriting the proprietary firmware for SmartBuilding IoT devices, unifying the codebase and adding capabilities including mesh networking, security hardening, and standalone operation. I’m also developing a Flutter app and an Azure backend for local and remote device control.

At Domi Game Studios, I led the networking team and implemented multiplayer capabilities for Domi Online, stress-testing the system for up to 800 concurrent players on one server. Across game and software projects, I’ve worked on backend systems, payments, blockchain integrations, optimization, and development tools.
