Key Strengths

  • Architected modular, device-agnostic Unity XR session framework spanning multiple headset SDKs
  • Scaled single-player gameplay systems to synchronous real-time multiplayer via deterministic, network-friendly state design
  • Strong multiplayer networking optimization (client-side prediction, selective replication, interest management, bandwidth tuning)
  • Proven VR/mobile performance optimization on low-end hardware (Quest 1) by eliminating allocations, pooling, and reducing network update frequency
  • Live-ops minded engineering: Addressables for content delivery/build size reduction and shipping hotfixes without disrupting sessions
  • Effective designer collaboration through rapid prototyping and tunable parameters to balance social presence vs clarity/performance
