What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build VR and mobile gameplay systems end to end—owning features from prototype to release—with strong multiplayer architecture and performance optimization in a collaborative team.

I’m a Unity developer with 10 years of experience, specializing in VR and mobile game development. I’ve shipped multiple titles, including a solo-developed mobile game and two released VR games on the Meta Quest Store, building complete systems from scratch across multiple platforms.

I focus on gameplay programming and multiplayer architecture (Photon Quantum), with performance optimization at the core—like hitting 90 FPS on Quest through draw call reduction, lightmap baking, and texture compression. From prototype to release, I own features end to end and use tooling and frameworks such as Zenject and UniRx to deliver robust gameplay, UI/UX, and scalable live-ready systems.
