What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in game development where I can build gameplay and UI systems, connect networking and offline flows, and optimize performance for VR/mobile—using C++/C# across Unreal, Godot, and Unity, with a focus on scalable, data-driven architecture.

I’m a game software engineer with nearly five years at Wargaming, focused on strategy, vehicle-combat, and VR titles. I build across engines (C++/C# in Unreal Engine 5, Godot 4, Unity, and a native in-house engine), covering gameplay, AI, UI, networking, and performance.

At Wargaming, I led a mid-project UE5 to Godot 4 migration, rebuilding lobby and meta UI in six weeks. I also drove a ground-up UI rebuild on a custom CommonUI framework with automatic data binding, and rewrote the user data sync system as a game state machine with full offline and multi-device support (including conflict resolution).

I care about scalable systems and iteration speed: I made the weapon stack data-driven so new archetypes ship without new code, and I implemented mod support with an in-game mod store using ZIP packages, manifests, and trust tiers. I’ve also shipped VR content (Quest 2) and built a Python-to-UE5 bridge and command API to evaluate ML agents against game AI.
