Vetted Unreal Engine Professionals

“VFX generalist with shipped mobile game experience (Caveworld) who builds performant 2D sprite-based effects end-to-end—from hand-painted Photoshop textures through optimized materials and particle systems. Demonstrates strong real-time optimization practices (overdraw analysis, texture combining, mesh reduction, culling) and a clear understanding of mobile/Switch rendering constraints.”

“Unity/C# game developer who served as CEO and lead developer on the Unity 2D pixel RPG "Rum Runner's Revenge," owning technical direction, modular architecture, and core gameplay systems; the project earned a TIGA award nomination. Also shipped a commercial Unreal Engine title and built an adaptive difficulty system using player performance metrics, leveraging AI tools for rapid prototyping and debugging.”

“Works at Accelbyte validating Unreal/Unity tooling compatibility with PlayStation/Xbox devkits, focusing on end-to-end crash/error reporting and build distribution workflows. Strong in isolating SDK vs engine vs backend issues and coordinating with the right teams using backend error signals; also initiated team knowledge-sharing to enable cross-coverage when teammates are out.”

“Unity gameplay/game-flow programmer with ~10 years in the games industry who has shipped on Meta Quest 1 & 2. Built a Steam-available multiplayer "Vampire Survivors"-style co-op demo largely solo in a 6-month contract, handling everything from networking and UI to performance optimization (GPU instancing) and Steam publishing.”

“Brazil-based artist/VFX generalist building their own PC/mobile game and handling all VFX solo, using an After Effects-to-Unreal Niagara workflow. Has hands-on real-time optimization habits in Unreal (reducing casts, avoiding Event Tick, LODs, widget optimization) and leverages ChatGPT/Gemini plus Udemy/docs to upskill in Blueprint-driven systems.”

“Unity developer who has shipped VR games on Meta Quest/Oculus Go and demonstrates strong performance engineering for constrained hardware (multithreading, Unity Job System, Jump Point Search). Has built multiple games largely solo (e.g., Tap & Conquer), handling UI/flow, core gameplay, and save systems, and uses AI to speed up build/test/backup automation via shell scripting.”

“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.”
