What I'm looking for

I want hands-on software work on games, UX/HMI or embedded systems with strong engineering, clear product focus and growth opportunities.

I am an experienced software developer with a strong background in game programming, HMI/infotainment and networked software systems. Over more than a decade I have shipped titles and platform features across iOS, JavaME, desktop and embedded automotive systems.

I have led subteams, trained new employees successfully and delivered key features while avoiding architectural side effects. My work spans game engines (Unreal, Unity), mobile and desktop apps, and embedded HMI components for automotive products.

My strengths include simplifying and streamlining workflows to improve user experience, providing out-of-the-box solutions, and maintaining high-quality code and test automation. I am comfortable with C++, C#, Objective-C/Swift, Java, scripting languages and many development tools and VCS systems.

I seek to continue building compelling interactive products and robust platform software where strong engineering, product thinking and high-quality UI design matter.
