Hi, I’m Jakob Kiryo, a game programmer and designer with a strong background in Unity and C#. I build gameplay systems, UI, tools, and robust game logic, collaborating closely with designers to balance and polish mechanics. I’ve shipped mobile titles to the App Store and Google Play and thrive in Agile teams. I enjoy solving complex problems, iterating quickly, and crafting polished player experiences. When I’m not coding, I love exploring game design theory, tinkering with tools, and sharing knowledge with teammates to raise the bar on every project.
