What I'm looking for

I want to build interactive, performance-focused games for the web—owning technical features end-to-end—within a collaborative Agile/Scrum team that values creativity, clear communication, and steady growth.

I’m a frontend game developer and technical artist who led my company’s first 3D web-based project built with Godot, owning over 90% of the codebase. I optimized rendering and performance for browser deployment so the experience stays smooth, responsive, and fun.

I enjoy building with small teams under Agile/Scrum, collaborating using GitLab, Godot, and VS Code. In my projects, I’ve identified 200+ critical bugs to improve stability and performance, and I’ve served as lead programmer on a European roulette simulator and the bet communication system between backend and frontend.
