About Me
Senior Game Engineering/Full-Stack Developer with 10+ of experience dedicated solely to the
craft of Game and Web
development. My career began in the code trenches and evolved into strategic leadership, driven
by a passion for creating deeply engaging player experiences.
My core expertise lies in end-to-end game creation across multiple platforms and genres. I
architect and build games using the industry's leading engines and frameworks, including Unity, Unreal
Engine,
Godot, Cocos
Creator, Pixi.js and Phaser.js. For Playable Ads, I leverage high-performance
frameworks
like Pixi.js, Phaser.js, Cocos
Creator, Three.js and Luna/Unity to deliver rich, interactive experiences.
I have directed technical vision for titles that pushed creative and technical boundaries,
specializing in implementing:
- Advanced Rendering & Visuals to achieve stunning aesthetic quality and performance.
- Sophisticated AI Systems that create compelling and intelligent gameplay.
- Scalable Multiplayer Infrastructures that support thriving online communities.

- Full-Stack Development to build tools and platforms that enhance game operations.
My development proficiency is built on a strong foundation in C#, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, allowing me to build robust and optimized game systems.
Beyond pure development, I apply my expertise to adjacent areas critical to modern games, such as integrating blockchain for secure in-game economies and leading teams with Agile and DevOps methodologies to ensure efficient, high-quality delivery.
My primary mission is to pioneer the next generation of interactive entertainment. I am constantly exploring new technologies and design philosophies to elevate what games can be and to deliver unforgettable experiences to players.
