Staff/Lead Game Engineer specializing in gameplay systems and VR

Los Angeles, USA22y exp

“Unity gameplay programmer with hands-on multiplayer networking experience (Photon Fusion, Mirror, SmartFox, Unity networking), including client-side prediction and rollback to smooth networked movement under lag/packet loss. Recently improved a fast-paced 2D platformer’s feel by adding momentum/velocity “gears,” validated through internal cohorts and volunteer/friends-and-family playtests. Comfortable in both startup and large-company environments and currently seeking a high-impact, intensive project.”

“Software engineering capstone contributor who helped kickstart an ambiguous, real-client project ("The Virtual Cowboy") by designing the initial relational database and CRUD foundation, then prioritized and shipped simulation/event functionality that satisfied the client. Also building a personal full-stack Book Notes web app (Node/Express/Postgres) with Google OAuth via Passport and a books API ingestion flow focused on data quality and reliability; has deployment experience with Heroku and PythonAnywhere and is ramping up on AWS.”

“Product-focused full-stack engineer with strong performance and reliability instincts: improved production page responsiveness by 15% via lazy loading and render optimization, and built a polished React+TypeScript filtering dashboard with URL-synced state for shareable views. Also designed and operated a Django REST backend with versioning, token auth, structured logging, and API tests, and has handled real production scaling issues through PostgreSQL query-plan analysis and indexing.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in React/Node.js and backend APIs

Los Angeles, CA4y exp

“Built and deployed a production Incident Tracking System using Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript with Postgres (Neon) and Prisma, including RBAC (User/Support/Admin), tickets/comments, and audit logging. Uses Zod for schema/type validation and relies on Chrome/React DevTools to debug and refine UI/UX and performance.”

“Full-stack engineer who built WordCon, an AI-powered vocabulary learning platform, end-to-end across React/Next.js, Python, AWS, and GenAI services. Particularly strong at turning ambiguous AI product ideas into structured, scalable systems by combining deterministic learning logic with LLM-powered personalization, and has additional experience modernizing legacy PHP systems into React/Node architectures.”
