PROFILE

Senior Game Developer with 9+ years of hands-on game development and 4+ years as the sole/lead programmer
on a server-authoritative online RPG. Expert in Godot Engine, GDScript, networking, and data‑driven gameplay
architecture across client, dedicated server, and tools. Designed and maintained multiplayer core systems (sessions,
persistence, Steam integration, crash recovery, monitoring) and modular gameplay features (combat, abilities, AI,
quests, inventory, destructible environments). Strong focus on rendering and performance optimization, building
custom tools and engine‑level extensions so designers and artists can ship content quickly without sacrificing
stability or performance.
