Experienced in Unreal Engine 5 Blueprints prototyping (including a horde mode) and in designing tightly gated, step-based educational experiences while collaborating closely with educators/subject-matter experts to balance realism with VR feasibility.”

“Game designer/technical designer with hands-on Unreal Engine 5 Blueprint implementation, specializing in horde/wave modes, spawn systems, and live-service progression/economy. Shipped a limited-time Horde Event Mode under a ~6-week constraint by reusing existing content and focusing on systemic tuning (pacing, spawn budgeting, difficulty curves), reporting improved engagement/retention and reduced early drop-off.”

“Unity/Meta Quest VR developer who has shipped three VR projects for different organizations, including an arachnophobia treatment experience for a university psychology department, a warehouse VR training project, and a children’s mental health-focused VR game. Also building a long-running personal project: a cooperative online multiplayer Metroidvania developed over ~3 years, with significant learning and refactoring around networking.”

“Unity developer with hands-on Meta Quest VR experience across two distinct domains: an ASD-focused therapeutic experience (shopping scenario and calming room) and an escape-room game designed to train students’ soft skills. Also customized a Scrabble-style word game plugin with multilingual support and English dictionary selection, and leverages Claude Code/Copilot to implement and debug unfamiliar networking features.”

“Unity/Unreal developer who solo built a cross-platform Unity system for firefighters (master’s thesis) spanning Windows, HoloLens 2, and Android, integrating eye tracking, thermal imaging data streaming, and location tracking. Demonstrated practical problem-solving by working around HoloLens IO limitations via PC-based data streaming, and also built a Unity tower defense prototype with upgrades, economy, difficulty scaling, and sound design.”

“Game Designer at Flux Games on AA titles including The Walking Dead: Destinies and Cobra Kai 2: Dojos Rising, with end-to-end ownership of combat/encounter modes. Led implementation of the team’s first shooting system and rapidly prototyped wave-based combat loops in Unreal Engine 5 Blueprints, iterating heavily from playtest feedback across responsiveness, balance, pacing, and clarity.”

“VFX artist with 6 years of experience across mobile and VR, focused on real-time performance (instancing, overdraw control, particle budgeting) and memory optimization via texture/spritesheet atlases. Built a flexible master shader to cover many effect types, and recently delivered a code-only Babylon Playground VFX system in 3 days, producing ~30 distinct effects.”

“Unity developer (3+ years) focused on mobile multiplayer/casual games, combining technical leadership with game design ownership. Has shipped modular gameplay systems, integrated monetization/analytics, and built a custom Unity Editor plugin for configurable combat/animation montage workflows (masking + blending). Not experienced with VR/Meta Quest yet.”

“Unity/VR gameplay programmer who built a gesture-driven stationary locomotion/teleport feature for a VR tennis eSports title at VRML, enabling players to reposition to predicted ball impact without using controller buttons. Has multiplayer/networking exposure via Photon Quantum and Photon Fusion (BadFly) and works as a generalist solo developer leveraging AI tools for rapid asset creation and code cleanup.”

“Real-time VFX artist currently working on Tomo Endless Blue, focused on improving combat feedback and gameplay readability through hit VFX. Experienced in Unity (Shader Graph, VFX Graph, Particle System) and performance-conscious techniques, including replacing heavy particle setups (e.g., falling leaves) with GPU-driven low-poly mesh + shader solutions, iterated through QA/playtests and tracked in Jira.”

“Unity developer with VR/multiplayer experience at Gemba, building gamified manufacturing coaching/training experiences (e.g., Coaching Kata) using dialogue trees, state machines, and scoring logic. Also implemented Photon Fusion-synced presentation features for multi-user chat rooms and stepped in to support UV/optimization work for Quest and QA in a lean team.”

“Unity/VR developer who previously built games largely from the ground up and delivered a standout immersive VR experience by synchronizing a real CNC-cut Browning M2 physical prop with an in-game mounted weapon. Has multiplayer/networking experience with UNet, FishNet, and a more advanced custom MST framework implemented for a startup, and uses AI tools to speed up debugging and complex feature work like root-motion locomotion.”

“Game developer with Unity and Unreal multiplayer experience who scaled a simple player profile into a major personalization feature using PlayFab, including a JSON-based workaround to overcome free-tier storage limits. Strong hands-on performance optimization background on mobile and Nintendo Switch, and collaborates closely with designers by building highly parameterized, iteration-friendly gameplay systems (character switching/special attacks, emotes).”

“Game economy/progression designer based in India with ~4 years experience across ~10 shipped titles, owning end-to-end F2P economies (currencies, sinks/sources, energy gating, ads, and live-ops).
