Vetted Design Patterns Professionals

“Unity/VR developer who has shipped on Meta Quest (SideQuest) and built standalone PCVR medical applications used with real patients. Built a fully solo roguelike twin-stick shooter with a highly modular ScriptableObject/state-machine architecture, including custom build-time tooling to overcome Unity runtime constraints. Uses AI selectively (e.g., Claude) to generate editor tooling like a match-3 level designer to speed up level production.”

“Unity/C# developer who built a non-AR prototype feature for an AR hide-and-seek game that became a preferred gameplay mode: smooth touch-driven camera orbit and zoom without image distortion. Demonstrates practical camera/FOV tuning and player-experience-driven iteration; has introductory exposure to Photon Fusion concepts (C# attribute-marked network methods).”

“Backend engineer who owned the API layer for an AI trust/analytics dashboard (trust scores, stability checks, public verification endpoints) using Python/FastAPI and Postgres. Has hands-on DevOps experience deploying FastAPI and Node.js services to AWS Kubernetes with GitHub Actions + ArgoCD GitOps, plus Kafka-based real-time event streaming and careful staged migration practices (shadow traffic/dual writes, rollback planning).”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer in fintech/payments who shipped an end-to-end Stripe payments + webhook system for a financial microservices platform, emphasizing ledger accuracy via idempotency, transactional writes, retries, and DLQs. Also delivered a real-time React/TypeScript payment status dashboard informed by user interviews, and improved production performance by 35% p95 latency through PostgreSQL tuning and Redis caching on AWS.”

“Unity developer with shipped Meta Quest 2 room-scale VR experience, owning VR architecture (XR Interaction Toolkit/Oculus Integration), core interaction systems (grabbing/UI/locomotion), and Quest performance optimization. Also built a solo mobile puzzle game with star-based difficulty tuning, UI/performance profiling, and progression/replay systems, and uses AI assistants to speed prototyping, debugging, and documentation.”

“Unity game developer with hands-on gameplay AI experience (FSM-driven monsters with customized NavMeshAgent movement) focused on creating readable, high-tension survival encounters through iterative tuning. Has shipped/created 4 Unity games solo end-to-end (UI, animations, architecture, state machines) and has also built a full Python game server; some exposure to Photon Fusion and strong client/server REST API implementation experience.”

“Frontend engineer at LodestonePM who led end-to-end delivery of an AI release-notes generator (OpenAI API) and a Kanban-style release board in Remix/React/TypeScript. Demonstrated scalable architecture (bridging tables, upserts), strong QA practices, and measurable performance wins (200+ item loads reduced from 10–20s to a few seconds via caching/pagination), plus UX improvements like simplifying a Jira integration flow.”

“Backend/platform engineer who has owned FastAPI microservices for analytics/ML ingestion and driven measurable performance gains (cut latency ~40%). Experienced deploying to AWS (ECS/EKS) with GitOps (GitHub Actions + ArgoCD + Helm), and has executed an on-prem to AWS migration using Terraform with parallel-run cutover and ~30% runtime improvement. Also built Kafka-based real-time user activity streaming with Prometheus/Grafana observability.”

“Senior Unity developer with 8+ years of experience who has shipped multiple VR projects to Meta Quest and a live Steam title used by therapists for phobia treatment. Demonstrates strong technical depth in VR physics interactions and Unity performance optimization (C# multithreading, Burst, ECS), and has also built a substantial solo RPG project featuring localization, IK, and dialogue/quest systems.”

“Unity developer with 9 years of experience who has shipped numerous mobile titles to both iOS and Android. Built and is actively evolving a published puzzle game (Sudoku Jigsaw) using Unity UI Toolkit and SQL persistence, adding live-ops features like daily puzzles and a promotion/demotion leaderboard. Also has VR experience delivering an HTC Vive training application as a contractor for a university project.”

“Unity game developer/designer who built the core combat, NPC, and player ability systems for an action game (MonstersVSZombies), including a mechanic where defeated enemies can be recreated as allied versions. Emphasizes modular, generic C#/.NET architecture to scale content quickly, and has hands-on VR optimization experience (mesh/draw call reduction and baking lighting to improve FPS).”

“Frontend team lead who delivered an ArcMap React + TypeScript product end-to-end, emphasizing Atomic Design-based design systems, reusable component architecture, and performance optimizations (code-splitting/lazy loading, server-side fetching, webpack). Adopted React Query over Redux with centralized query-key management and coached the team on its usage while shipping quickly in a high-velocity environment.”

“Frontend engineer with experience across university and product companies (University of Montreal, Dopely, Takhfifan), owning React/TypeScript features end-to-end. Notably built a mathematically complex, multi-mode color wheel UI for designers and led quality practices at scale via conventions, RTL testing, and code reviews for junior developers, plus performance and reusability improvements in existing codebases.”

“Frontend developer who led the COC.ca (Canadian Opera Company) site end-to-end as the sole FE engineer on an AgilityCMS/.NET stack, owning master/page templates, modules, and quality. Emphasizes accessibility and responsive design, performing cross-browser/device testing with tools like JAWS, NVDA, Axe, Lighthouse, and Siteimprove; more recently built a Next.js/React/TypeScript video viewer with modal/video state management.”

“Frontend-leaning engineer who shipped an end-to-end map-based discovery feature in a React Native mobile app, integrating location-based REST APIs with strong UX polish (loading/empty/error states) and cross-platform performance fixes. Also has experience building a Python backend with JWT auth and layered service structure, plus prior infrastructure work setting up centralized logging and monitoring.”

“Game developer from a student-led team that shipped a Steam vertical slice (Skyguard), a 3rd-person co-op wave defense shooter. Built core gameplay systems (weapons, movement, wave progression), a UE5 Blueprint/C++ microgame framework, and a gameplay-tag-driven cue system to speed VFX/audio iteration; actively tuned balance using structured playtest feedback and fixed multiple high-impact gameplay bugs.”

“VR multiplayer Unity developer who implemented high-impact interaction systems (notably a math-driven, physics-aware door system with audio occlusion and culling) and designed/built a fully custom cross-platform multiplayer stack from scratch using KCP, WebSockets, WebRTC, and MemoryPack—plus recording, NPC support, and backward-compatible client modes for an educational/learning platform.”

“Unity/VR developer who shipped a Meta Quest 2 immersive 360 training experience for Staffordshire Police as a solo programmer, including biometric gaze/reaction tracking and real-time data capture to an HTTP endpoint. Also building a Tomb Raider-like sci-fi adventure demo (Nexus 7) featuring FSM-driven character logic, motion-capture animation, custom controller optimization, and spline-following AI movement.”

“Indie Unity game developer who built a physics-driven fishing mechanic for "Cats Fishing" inspired by RDR2, combining Verlet integration and procedural rod bending to achieve realistic feel without heavy simulation costs. Has prototyped multiplayer systems using multiple networking stacks (PUN/Fusion/UNet/Nakama/Mirror) and adapts features for mobile via gesture controls and minimal UI.”
