Unity developer | Game software engineer | Programmer | Team-Lead
I’m an experienced game developer building games across multiple genres and platforms using a wide range of
professional game development environments and toolchains. I have strong hands-on experience delivering projects
end-to-end - from gameplay systems, UI, and technical architecture to backend services, infrastructure, tools, and
platform integrations. I can take ownership of the full development cycle, including engineering, optimization,
deployment, and live support, while also leading teams and managing production workflows. I’m results-driven and
focused on building high-quality games, long-term collaboration, and sustainable project growth.
