What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, real-time systems or games where I can work on backend architecture, performance optimization, blockchain integration, and mentor engineers in a collaborative, product-focused team.

I am a Full-Stack developer with deep expertise in .NET, Unity, and browser-based game development, focused on building scalable, event-driven systems and seamless cross-platform experiences. I combine backend architecture, real-time networking, and frontend optimization to deliver performant applications.

My experience includes engineering efficient data exchange, payment integration, push notifications, Redis caching strategies, and async patterns to improve responsiveness and uptime. I have modernized legacy game servers, ported Android titles to WebGL, implemented server-side monetization listeners, and built leaderboards that increased player retention.

I also research and develop blockchain solutions including dApps and smart contracts, perform smart contract audits, and build tooling such as a TypeScript web game engine and educational kernel projects. I mentor peers, conduct code reviews, and document workflows to help teams ship maintainable, secure software.
