Vetted Prototyping Professionals

“Product manager from edTech focused on AI-driven, B2B HR training simulations (live work-scenario platforms). Demonstrated measurable funnel improvement by diagnosing a registration drop-off issue, coordinating a cross-functional fix (including Android), and delivering ahead of schedule, resulting in a 20% increase in sign-ons. Has shipped/managed products on web and mobile.”

“Senior game designer with shipped experience on Outlanders, focused on systems/economy balance, player motivation loops, and clear cross-discipline implementation. Built rapid UE5 prototypes (48-hour cycle) and iterated based on feedback—especially leveraging audio to guide players in an atmospheric horror concept. Has led design decisions under mobile performance constraints, aligning engineering/art/direction to ship a sandbox mode with acceptable entity/map limits.”

“Lead Unity engineer who shipped a Meta Quest VR free-to-play poker title, tackling hand-tracking controls, physics-driven chip interactions, and large-room multiplayer with anti-cheat needs. Also independently built a mobile real-time multiplayer racing game through beta, including backend, progression, on-demand track delivery, and a custom car physics engine.”

“Game-focused QA tester with a developer background who routinely validates builds in player-like environments (including VMs), documents test coverage rigorously, and provides high-signal bug reports with reproducible steps and video evidence. Has partnered closely with designers and engineers on issues like level-loading resource management and prioritizes defects based on player progression and immersion impact; has not shipped a AAA title.”

“Technical game designer/Unity developer who has shipped across PC, consoles, web, and mobile, with a strong focus on performance optimization (culling/occlusion, event-driven patterns, sprite atlasing) including for Nintendo Switch constraints. Served as feature owner on Risk of Rain 2 DLC "Alloyed Collective" (characters, bosses, items, interactables, enemies) and acted as project lead during a critical transition, stepping in to rescue a playable character design to meet client requirements.”

“Unity/VR game designer with shipped Meta Quest experience across two titles, including a lite-sim/arcade multiplayer project and a Sniper Elite VR standalone DLC where they built the "Last Stand" mode and balanced wave/drop systems. Currently building a solo prototype featuring Pikmin/Overlord-style rat horde control mechanics, using AI and community resources to upskill in programming and debug Unity physics.”

“Unity game developer with AR RPG experience who owned a flexible mission/scenario system and created tooling to dramatically speed up mission testing by skipping steps while maintaining dependent dialogs/NPC/item state. Currently in an R&D team building AI-enabled developer productivity tools, including an in-house CI code review bot, and regularly uses LLM workflows (ChatGPT/Gemini) integrated into Rider.”

“Unity generalist with VR-focused optimization experience who replaced a bloated third-party IK/rigging plugin by building a custom DOTS/Burst multithreaded system, reporting ~200% performance gains and a noticeably smoother VR experience. Has multiplayer experience with Unity Netcode (and some Photon Fusion exposure) and uses AI tooling (Rider AI) to speed up refactoring and documentation.”

“Built and marketed a live free-to-play web word game (Techies WordFinder) from scratch using the Lovable AI platform, reaching 100+ users in under a month. Iterated quickly based on player feedback, reporting a 28% UX improvement and +32 seconds average time per user, and demonstrates practical live-ops and F2P analytics/A-B testing knowledge.”
