About

Hi, I’m Jeff Orczyk, a Unity-focused software engineer with 10+ years of experience shipping commercial game titles and cloud-backed player-data systems. I specialize in multiplayer networking, match-making workflows, persistence architecture, and live-service integrations using Unity Netcode and Azure PlayFab.

I’m the founder of an independent game studio with full ownership across gameplay systems, backend services, deployment pipelines, and release management. I’m open to remote, part-time, or contract Unity engineering work (about 10-25 hours/week) supporting gameplay features, multiplayer systems, backend integrations, or live-service tooling.
