Available to hire
I am a motivated developer with strong hands-on experience across the full software development lifecycle, primarily using C# for game development and commercial applications. My background includes working as a Unity Developer at Meta, where I balanced deep coding with overseeing integration work between Meta’s proprietary AI development and the Unity engine.
I’m currently focused on roles that bring me back to full-time coding, though I’m also open to positions with an oversight or managerial component. I thrive in collaborative, diverse environments and have experience coordinating across engineering, research, and cross-functional teams.
