What I'm looking for

I'm looking for local hybrid or remote B2B work where I can build scalable gameplay, AI, and performance-critical Unity systems for mobile, XR, or live products.

At Rivalz & DeQuest, I architected a protective Narrative Interpreter that routes Google Gemini JSON payloads into strongly typed C# delegates, reducing narrative scripting time by 80% while keeping the core gameplay loop stable against AI hallucinations.

I build decoupled, engine-independent systems that separate domain logic from presentation, using C#, Clean Architecture, Zenject, event-driven patterns, and state machines. I also optimize Unity applications for low-end Android devices through UniTask, zero-allocation physics, object pooling, custom O(1) scheduling structures, and CPU and memory profiling.

Across HC Rotem Kuza and freelance projects, I've delivered high-volume Android builds, integrated monetization and analytics SDKs, built reusable gameplay mechanics and UGUI systems, and connected high-fidelity 3D assets to performant game-engine implementations.

Gameplay Systems Engineer

Rivalz & DeQuest

Nov 2023 - Dec 2025 (2 years 1 month)

Architected a protective Narrative Interpreter to integrate LLM outputs into gameplay, reducing narrative scripting time by 80% and ensuring 100% core-loop stability. Refactored monolithic code into a decoupled, DI-based architecture and engineered custom editor tools to automate CI/CD pipelines.
