About

Unity multiplayer gameplay engineer who architected the combat/power-up system for Tanks Alpha and scaled it from prototype to multiplayer by separating local gameplay from network sync and sending only critical state changes. Hands-on with Photon PUN across multiple titles (Tanks Alpha, LudoIn, CryptoPlay), including matchmaking/rooms, RPC interactions, and disconnect/rejoin handling, plus strong mobile and Meta Quest VR performance optimization (object pooling to reduce GC spikes and stabilize FPS).

Key Strengths

• Architected scalable Unity combat/power-up system using ScriptableObjects and modular components
• Optimized multiplayer responsiveness by syncing only critical events and using client-side prediction
• Built and maintained Photon PUN multiplayer features (matchmaking, rooms, spawning, RPCs, state sync)
• Handled multiplayer edge cases (disconnects/rejoins) and profiled network traffic to reduce latency
• Platform optimization for mobile and Meta Quest VR (draw calls, shaders, overdraw, memory, physics)
• Stabilized FPS by implementing object pooling to reduce instantiation and GC spikes
• Effective designer collaboration via tunable ScriptableObject parameters and rapid iteration with playable builds
• Mentorship through code reviews and enforcing clean architecture/component-based best practices
