What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own gameplay architecture and scalable systems end-to-end—especially LiveOps—partner closely with backend and production teams, and continuously improve performance and maintainability.

I’m a Senior Unity Gameplay Programmer with 7+ years of professional experience delivering commercial Android and iOS games using Unity and C#. I specialize in gameplay architecture and scalable gameplay systems—especially LiveOps—while keeping performance tight through profiling and optimization.

I’ve owned complex gameplay features end-to-end, taking them from design through release and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. As the sole Unity developer on a live-service mobile title, I led implementation of Season Pass, player progression, economy, tournaments, backend-driven content, platform integrations, and reusable, maintainable systems built on SOLID and modern software architecture.
