What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles where I can optimize large-scale multiplayer systems, improve performance, and build tooling for metaverse/VR platforms within collaborative, outcome-driven teams.

I am a senior software engineer focused on architecting low-latency networking and performance optimization for massive-scale multiplayer environments, with deep experience in Unreal Engine and metaverse platforms.

I have driven scalable networking solutions and tooling—pushing Improbable’s networking stack to support 20,000 CCU, owning the Morpheus Plugin tooling, and optimizing WaveXR VR tick performance—while contributing to titles such as Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Star Wars: Hunters.

I combine systems engineering, distributed-systems and gameplay programming expertise with strong observability, CI/CD and automation practices, and a track record of shipping games, building indie projects, and integrating Web3 and voice AI technologies.
