About

I’m a Unity developer with 7+ years of experience building games from first prototype to launch and beyond. I specialize in real-time multiplayer, having built deterministic networking with Photon Quantum for a kart racing game (Moonkarts) and a 5v5 MOBA (AI Layer).

My work spans the full stack of game development: gameplay mechanics, vehicle physics, character abilities, in-game economies, and UI, along with backend integration using Node.js, REST APIs, and Firebase. I’ve also shipped mobile titles optimized for low-end Android devices, built AR games, and integrated ads and in-app purchases.

I’ve worked with studios including Splinterlands USA, Terafort, and CLV Technologies, leading cross-functional teams and writing clean, scalable code built on SOLID principles and proven design patterns. I was named Developer of the Year at Terafort in 2022.

Skills: Unity, C#, Photon Quantum, Mirror, WebSockets, Unreal Engine, Node.js, Firebase, REST APIs, AR Development, Performance Optimization

Whether you need a multiplayer system built from scratch, a mobile game optimized, or an extra developer to help ship on time, I’d love to hear about your project.
