What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build high-quality, performance-optimized Unity games with collaborative teams, taking on new multiplayer, backend, and cross-platform development challenges.

I'm building scalable real-time multiplayer games at IgroTek using Unity, Photon PUN, PlayFab, and Firebase. I develop matchmaking, synchronized gameplay, lobbies, combat, player progression, cloud saves, and text and voice communication.

Previously at Gamenock, I developed and optimized 2D and 3D games across multiple genres and platforms, while integrating AssetBundles, Addressables, REST APIs, IAP, deep linking, push notifications, and third-party SDKs.
