Delivered game features, core interaction loops, mechanics, sequencing, and animations in-depth and in small teams, adhering to best practices to ship stable and polished game releases on time. Owned design, development and maintenance of an in-house proprietary particle system, including emitter logic, world/local velocity calculations, and lifecycle management, used across multiple titles. Led adaptation of custom shaders to improve visuals and performance on low-end mobile CPUs, enabling more creative freedom for artists while maintaining clear game state and win conditions. Worked closely with designers and artists on art concepts, asset ownership, and optimization opportunities, identifying areas for shader, 3D model, and canvas-based UI asset improvements. Collaborated with QA to identify choke points during testing and developed custom tooling to accelerate delivery velocity. Mentored junior developers through regular pair programming.
