What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can contribute to innovative game projects and continue to grow my skills.

I am an innovative and detail-oriented game developer with a strong background in programming, system design, and live-service game development. My journey in the gaming industry has been marked by a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams and delivering high-quality games that create immersive experiences. I am passionate about fostering collaboration to achieve ambitious goals and push the boundaries of game design.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Software Engineer at Boltz Entertainment, where I have played a pivotal role in transforming the company from a startup indie studio into a fully operational entity. My key accomplishments include developing core gameplay systems for our live-service writing party game, Write Warz, and building backend infrastructure to manage player accounts and microtransactions. I take pride in mentoring junior developers and facilitating effective communication between teams to ensure the successful delivery of our projects.

In addition to my professional experience, I have worked on independent game projects that showcase my programming skills and creativity. I am always eager to learn and grow within the industry, and I strive to create engaging and memorable gaming experiences for players.
