About

I’m Ofek Eshed, a Unity game developer focused on gameplay programming, AI, and building complex gameplay systems. I enjoy turning modular design into reliable, fun mechanics—whether that’s roguelike bosses with distinct patterns, turn-based combat with physics-driven interactions, or adaptive enemy AI that responds to the player.

In parallel with indie development, I also bring a strong QA/automation background from Elbit Systems, where I co-developed a Cypress automation framework that significantly reduced regression time before releases. This combination of gameplay engineering and test-driven thinking helps me debug faster, prevent issues earlier, and create smoother player experiences end-to-end.
