Vetted Unreal Engine Professionals

“Game economy/balancing designer who owned the economy for "Parliament" and rebuilt progression by introducing an active/passive ability system powered by an earn-and-spend currency. Uses spreadsheet-based TTK modeling plus telemetry KPIs and repeated playtests to tune difficulty, pacing, and scaling, and has experience aligning cross-functional teams around contentious economy/difficulty changes.”

“VFX artist who shipped the mobile title WAGIMI Defense, creating a broad range of effects across UI and character actions. Highlights hands-on real-time/mobile optimization experience, including reducing overdraw and tuning shaders/emitters to keep effects performant while maintaining visual quality (e.g., tank shot VFX).”

“Unreal Engine generalist (7 years) with hands-on ownership of end-to-end gameplay systems in real-time 3D C++ and UE5, spanning technical level design, animation/locomotion features, and multiplayer replication. Worked on a shipped Steam title ("Peak 53") implementing replicated systems like prone, scope, and ladder, and has also built MMORPG time/weather systems and a projectile/rocket launcher feature for a demo (Meta Island).”

“Unity game developer with experience building a mobile top-down shooter and improving its feel via IK-driven full-body auto-aim. Also implemented Photon Fusion networking (movement/shooting sync, prediction, lag compensation, hitboxes) to improve responsiveness and hit registration in a multiplayer game.”

“Unity gameplay developer who implemented a zone-based variable-gravity system for a car/racing game ("Electric Car"), requiring careful physics tuning to keep the vehicle controllable and on-screen. Iterates via repeated playtesting to balance feel and smoothness, and uses AI tools to accelerate debugging and unit test work.”

“Unity game developer who built the economic system for an idle game (Hospital Empire), using spreadsheet-driven planning and iterative stat tuning to shape player feel. Has experimented with multiplayer networking via Mirror on an FPS prototype and uses GitHub Copilot to support modular/OOP-oriented planning and implementation; prefers remote/flexible work.”

“Unity developer who built a multiplayer system for a game called Drift using Photon PUN, including backend API integration for authentication, score tracking, and live leaderboards. Has experience optimizing real-time sync for WebGL and automating data-to-ScriptableObject pipelines via a custom C# CSV importer generated with ChatGPT.”

“Casual mobile game designer (Unity-focused) with a psychology background who uses player research and BI analytics to drive retention and revenue. Led major difficulty rebalancing across thousands of levels (reported +5–10% retention lift) and partnered with engineering/art to create a parameter-driven level generation pipeline that quadrupled chapter output and increased release cadence.”

“Gameplay programmer with UE5 Blueprint-focused experience who independently shipped a multiplayer stealable XP/level progression system (including disconnect/anti-exploit handling and team-based data flow). Prototypes mechanics in Unity before recreating in Unreal, and has hands-on vehicle simulation work with a strong emphasis on modular architecture and performance-conscious UI update patterns.”

“Diploma-trained in Cinematography and Sound Design (European Film College, Denmark) with hands-on, end-to-end videography experience. Recently shot and post-produced a 30-minute promotional documentary about building a professional race track in Tennessee for Rogers Group Inc., operating as the primary camera/drone operator and editor/sound mixer on a small crew. Comfortable with travel, non-traditional hours, and immediate start near Greater Boston.”

“Unity/C# gameplay programmer with professional experience at Fabwelt Studios on the play-to-earn title "Arsenal," implementing player mechanics, interaction systems, and event-driven gameplay features. Also built a research-focused Tetris prototype as a master’s thesis, adding seedable RNG controls, data logging, and a playtest harness to study how randomness affects player perception.”

“Unity developer with hands-on Meta Quest XR experience building a radiography/X-ray training proof-of-concept and deep expertise in performance and large-world optimization. Built a bus simulator largely solo, implementing modular vehicle systems, localized traffic AI, multiplayer, and low-end device optimizations. Also develops internal AI tooling (auto-documentation and an AI UI generator) to speed up prototyping and reduce boilerplate.”

“Unity/Meta Quest VR developer focused on training simulations and digital twins across defence, construction, real estate, factory, and education. Built a factory VR twin by reconstructing spaces from photos/dimensions and iterating on interactivity, and also delivered a client-driven VR horror game end-to-end using a full GDD/gameflow process. Incorporates AI tools (ChatGPT/BlackBox and generators) for coding support and QA test reporting with edge cases.”

“Unity VR developer with ~4 years of experience who has shipped an app to the Meta Quest Store. Notably worked on a challenging VR project integrating live point cloud data, focusing on bandwidth/latency, optimization, and compression to keep performance smooth in-headset.”

“Unity game developer with hands-on experience building high-impact gameplay feel features (cinematic slow-motion bullet-follow sniper mechanic) and shipping a cross-platform multiplayer word/voting game (ACROMANIA) using Photon PUN. Has also worked on Unity WebGL pipelines involving VRM model uploads and heap memory crash diagnosis, and uses AI tools (ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude) to accelerate debugging and understanding of complex code.”

“VFX artist/technical VFX specialist shipping effects in Unity with a strong mobile/VR-constraint mindset, even on a Steam release (Fight'n Fall). Demonstrates hands-on shader and rendering optimization—reducing overdraw, packing textures, and moving work from pixel to vertex stage—to maintain a locked 60+ FPS in multiplayer while preserving gameplay readability.”

“Real-time VFX artist with Unity experience who emphasizes gameplay readability and performance. Built a multi-component fireball effect for the top-down game Petopia (indicator/main/sub FX) and iterated based on both dev and player feedback, including trail adjustments for perceived speed and stronger impact feedback. Uses platform-driven tooling (Particle System vs VFX Graph) and prefers Amplify/ShaderLab/HLSL for performance-critical shader work.”

“Gameplay VFX artist at Piloto Studio with hands-on experience shipping mobile game effects, including a bullet-hell project where they owned most gameplay VFX (projectiles, impacts, explosions) and optimized heavily for clarity and performance. Built real-time effects like a black hole VFX using geometry/material illusions plus scripting to keep particle counts low and frame rate stable on mobile.”

“Early-career game/3D creative with hands-on experience designing narrative elements, puzzle/attack mechanics, and progression via ability unlocks, plus delivering a stylized 3D mascot character in Blender under tight visual constraints (camera-head with lens-as-mouth). Currently self-studying to improve game development skills; has some Unity exposure but no UE5 prototyping experience yet.”

“Technical Game Designer on TimeSplitters Rewind who owned multiple Challenge Mode maps and shipped modes like stealth-focused “Infiltration” and “target practice,” handling AI placement/pathing, validation logic for multi-mode compatibility, and playtest-driven tuning. Currently prototyping a UE5 Blueprint-driven brawler with class systems, spawners, and Behavior Tree iteration (fear/roaming) over a fast two-week development loop.”
