Also created multiple Unity games in the last year and built reusable internal packages (game management + UI/screens), while using an AI-driven pipeline for rapid prototyping and 3D asset generation.”

“Unity gameplay engineer with experience across multiple genres (city builders, match-3, RTS) including implementing an open-world isometric fog-of-war system optimized via chunking and multithreading. Has shipped multiplayer features using Photon/UNet and has dealt with real-time synchronization/ownership conflicts, and also applies AI automation to speed up code reviews and improve Jira/merge request workflows.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience building customer-facing fintech mobile features end-to-end (loan estimate comparison) and scaling event-driven microservices in enterprise environments (Verizon).
