I am a Senior Frontend/HTML5 Game Engineer with 6+ years of experience building high-performance, browser-based slot games and interactive applications. My focus is on PixiJS, TypeScript, and WebGL rendering pipelines, with a strong emphasis on memory optimization, garbage-collection mitigation, and maintaining 60fps on resource-constrained mobile devices. I translate complex mathematical models into production code and have a track record of delivering polished, scalable gaming products. I have led frontend game engine work, designed deterministic RNG systems for iGaming, and integrated Spine animations with custom runtime logic. I collaborate closely with artists, animators, and backend engineers, enforce SOLID principles through code reviews, and drive architectural improvements for maintainability and performance.

Work Experience

Senior Game Engineer at Plan A Technologies
January 1, 2022 - January 1, 2025
Led frontend architecture and end-to-end development of browser-based slot games. Architected a high-performance rendering layer with PixiJS and custom WebGL optimizations; implemented dynamic draw call batching that reduced GPU overhead by ~35% while maintaining a locked 60fps on low-end devices. Built deterministic RNG services for slot mechanics; developed a reel evaluation engine supporting complex payline configurations and bonuses; integrated Spine animations with a custom runtime; collaborated with artists, animators, and backend engineers; drove architectural improvements and code quality via reviews and documentation.
Game Engineer at SportsBet
January 1, 2019 - January 1, 2022
Contributed to multiple live HTML5 game titles in a fast-paced environment. Built a reusable UI component library with TypeScript and PixiJS; developed asset pipelines and optimization; profiled performance and reduced per-frame processing time; collaborated cross-functionally with designers, artists, and backend engineers to refine feature specifications and ensure technical feasibility.

Education
