About
Hi, I’m Ilya Vasilyev, a Senior Unity Developer with extensive experience building scalable game architectures and gameplay systems for mobile titles. I design and optimize core gameplay, shared logic, and client-server multiplayer, while delivering robust tools and pipelines for designers, artists, and production. I enjoy shaping performance, visuals, and gameplay across genres, from idle tycoon to battle sims and rogue-lites, and I thrive on leading small teams to ship high-quality games.
I’m based in Cyprus and fluent in Russian and English. I actively contribute to AR/VR/mobile projects, VFX/shader work, and toolchains that accelerate content iteration and production quality.
