Senior Unity/Game Developer specializing in mobile games and gamified experiences

Laranjeiras, Brazil5y exp

“Unity/VR solo developer with hands-on Meta Quest shipping experience, including an AI-driven anatomy education app using ElevenLabs narration. Spent ~3 years at Brazil-based Pixel SAV building interactive VR experiences, notably a Volvo VR crash test simulation that synchronized VR animations with a custom haptic chair for immersive physical impact simulation.”

“Operations- and growth-oriented candidate who improves external partner workflows through standardization and measurement (cut turnaround time ~40% while maintaining 99% accuracy). Also launched and scaled a university Excel/data analysis workshop using ICP-driven GTM and a tracked acquisition loop, increasing attendance 15% and generating 95% repeat-demand intent.”

“Game QA professional with AAA open-world shipping experience, owning high-impact quality risks like save-data corruption, progression blockers, performance drops, and multiplayer desync. Demonstrates strong systems thinking and exploit prevention (e.g., reproduced and helped fix a reward-duplication race condition using network interruption + rapid input), with disciplined JIRA/TestRail workflows and evidence-driven bug reporting.”

“Business/partnerships-focused project/program leader with government contracting (SLED) experience who supported a cybersecurity solicitation response for Amtrak after a breach, using NIST-aligned posture assessment and recommending MFA, Zero Trust, and incident/vulnerability registers. Also led an urgent COVID-era recovery from a server crash by coordinating a move to AWS EC2 and managing vendor negotiation and project timelines for a CRM platform serving the winery/beverage industry.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in mobile, cloud, and GenAI integration

Syracuse, NY2y exp

“Software engineering intern with hands-on ownership of a Java/Spring Boot order management microservice, including production performance tuning via Redis caching and database indexing driven by API logs/metrics. Also contributed to a production mobile-backend LLM feature using RAG with embeddings over structured data and documents (DB + object storage), with guardrails to keep responses grounded.”

“Full-stack engineer with deep startup experience building products from scratch under ambiguous requirements. Delivered a scalable, admin-configurable notification platform (Spring Boot/Java/Kafka) supporting 50+ notification types across 3 channels for 10k+ users, cutting new notification setup to ~5 minutes. Also built a Tinder-meets-LinkedIn job-swiping app (React/TS + Node/Prisma) and has hands-on AWS production ops (ECS/EKS, RDS, CloudWatch) plus multiple third-party integrations (Stripe, QuickBooks, Twilio).”

“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.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong production experience improving performance and reliability of data-heavy analytics products. Has shipped end-to-end features spanning Node/Express + PostgreSQL + Redis and React/TypeScript, deployed via Docker/GitHub Actions to AWS EKS with Helm, and monitored with Datadog/CloudWatch; also built a Python compliance automation backend for AWS security monitoring with RBAC, versioned REST APIs, and resilient throttling-aware processing.”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer who shipped a live-service mobile RPG and a Quest 2 + mobile social fitness game, with deep experience in performance optimization and multiplayer netcode. Built client-prediction/server-authoritative combat and consolidated AI updates to hit 60 FPS (P50 frame time improved 22ms→14ms), and implemented strong live-ops tooling (replays in S3, alerts, desync checksums). Also integrated an LLM-driven NPC dialogue system via a Go middleware layer with validation/caching and evaluated it through a 4-week A/B test.”

“Full-stack developer with seven years of experience who has built production systems across AWS serverless infrastructure, Django applications, and user-facing web products in domains like emergency response, fintech/investing, recruiting, and conference management. Particularly notable for combining technical architecture with product thinking—e.g., modernizing a crash-tracking platform for emergency responders and materially improving trust-driven conversion in a trading-card fractionalization product.”
