“Senior Unity developer with deep systems experience spanning LiveOps architecture and multiplayer. Built a data-driven LiveOps event platform that scaled to overlapping, progression-gated events controlled via backend config, plus shipped a Photon-based VR multiplayer showroom supported on-site at a live exhibition. Also implemented server-authoritative social multiplayer (Catan-like trading) using SignalR/MessagePack with strong focus on determinism, fairness, and performance.”

“Unity VR developer with multiple shipped Meta Quest titles, including early hand-tracking projects where they stabilized an unstable SDK by inspecting source code and adapting their codebase. Built a largely solo Harry Potter-inspired VR game (Spell Bind) featuring voice-command spellcasting via Oculus Voice SDK plus hand-tracked wand interaction, which won the People's Choice Award at Gamebridge 2023.”

“Unity game developer who shipped a major core-mechanic change (“bowler quality”) for a bowling-sim game, using Firebase A/B testing and analytics to find the right difficulty/monetization balance and adding targeted onboarding to address player confusion. Also refactored a Photon-based multiplayer matchmaking/initialization “waterfall,” fixing a long-standing async host-selection bug that caused infinite loading.”

“Unity gameplay engineer with hands-on experience building a procedurally generated world prototype (Roblox/Minecraft-like) using a data-oriented approach and Perlin noise for fast, believable generation. Also worked on a DOTS-based battle royale using Unity netcode, navigating client/host/server separation and complex entity state synchronization decisions.”
