Director-level Unity Engineer specializing in multiplayer, WebGL/WebGPU, and XR

Stockholm, Sweden15y exp

“Lead Unity engineer who shipped a Meta Quest VR free-to-play poker title, tackling hand-tracking controls, physics-driven chip interactions, and large-room multiplayer with anti-cheat needs. Also independently built a mobile real-time multiplayer racing game through beta, including backend, progression, on-demand track delivery, and a custom car physics engine.”

“Unity developer with hands-on Meta Quest SDK experience (tested on Quest 2) who built a first-person game framework from scratch and later converted it into a hybrid VR + keyboard/mouse project with interaction systems (pickups, weapons, customization). Uses AI tools selectively to unblock tough engineering issues, including resolving Unity WebGL cached-data reset problems for a current employer.”

“Unity gameplay programmer with practical performance optimization experience (object pooling for shooting mechanics) and extensive Photon-based multiplayer work across diverse genres including shooters, sports, and board games (e.g., ludo, chess, air hockey, snakes and ladders). Uses AI tools to accelerate development, including generating and implementing multiple effects programmatically in a single day under deadline pressure.”

“Unity gameplay/tech-art oriented developer who implemented the main third-person controller, animation, and combat feel for a game, including a sophisticated two-character synced-animation pipeline built in Autodesk MotionBuilder (leader/follower with syncing bones for perfect alignment). Has some Unity networking experience with Photon Bolt on a vehicle-MOBA project, syncing combat abilities while optimizing network data, and uses AI coding agents (KILO + Gemini) to navigate large codebases faster.”

“Unity technical designer/game developer who improves engagement and retention through KPI-driven analysis and live-ops tuning (e.g., early-game energy/progression adjustments and time-based targeted礼包 pushes). Built a Python-based visual map/level editor that exports CSV to replace error-prone manual coordinate entry, saving significant team time and remaining reusable across later projects.”

“Game developer with ~10 years in studios and 4 published titles, experienced shipping Unity VR/XR projects across Oculus, Samsung Odyssey, and Microsoft XR headsets. Demonstrates deep optimization expertise (progressive 3D loading with LODs and headset view-angle culling) and a hybrid profile spanning systems engineering, UI/UX implementation, and tech-art optimization, plus small-team/project leadership and cross-functional communication.”

“Unity mobile game developer with ~1 year as Unity Lead, focused on implementing meta mechanics and UI while collaborating closely with design/UX and backend. Has hands-on ownership of iOS porting and App Store build/release management, plus experience onboarding and mentoring two junior programmers. No shipped VR/Meta Quest titles yet, but interested in leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT to speed up development.”
