What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead Unity engineering teams, align technical work with product goals, improve workflows, mentor developers, and deliver scalable, high-quality games/applications.

I am a Unity Tech Lead and Tech Producer with 13+ years delivering games and applications across mobile, VR/AR, and desktop platforms. I specialize in Unity and C#, architect scalable systems, build custom tooling and automation pipelines, and have led teams on high-performing titles including a top-charting mobile game with tens of millions of downloads.

I've bridged engineering and production to align development with business and creative goals, improving workflows, mentoring engineers, hiring talent, and managing sprints and milestones. I founded and led an independent studio, delivered 23+ Unity projects, and consistently focus on measurable improvements in efficiency, quality, and on-time delivery.
