@maddiuser
Full-stack software engineer focused on game localization and end-to-end backend/frontend integration for global iGaming experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Games R&D Software Engineer who enjoys building full-cycle experiences—where localization, gameplay mechanics, and reliable integration all come together. At Konami Gaming, Inc., I enhanced and led localization for 15+ slot game titles across 6 languages, helping ensure global readiness.
I also led full-cycle full-stack development of 6+ games, delivering innovative gameplay mechanics and complete backend/frontend integration. I’ve specifically championed Konami’s introduction of anime-style games to iGaming platforms, bringing a clear product direction into the technical build.
Previously, I strengthened usability and operational efficiency through software and systems work—automating workflows and creating documentation and dashboards as an IT Systems Engineer at Porsche Cars North America. At Microsoft, I built a unified web interface for Bing Maps routing tools, partnering with developers and PMs on layout refinement, backend migration, and accessibility/reliability testing.
Earlier in my career, I developed automation and evaluation tooling with Python scripts and C++ extensions at AMD, built a Python GUI for flight test engineers at Northrop Grumman, and contributed to robotics design and prototype work at NASA Johnson Space Center under the Artemis program. I bring a collaborative, problem-solving mindset grounded in my Computer Science background and hands-on engineering across gaming, validation, testing, and robotics.
