Senior Software Engineer / Tech Lead with 11+ years of experience shipping complex products across game tech, backend systems, architecture, and technical leadership.
Senior engineer bridging game tech, backend systems, and technical leadership.
I build ambitious products end-to-end: from gameplay systems and real-time features to backend services, internal tooling, release operations, observability, and production support.
My core background is in Unity, C#, and .NET, with deep hands-on experience in multiplayer, VR/AR, optimization, tooling, and performance-critical products. Alongside game development, I have designed and shipped backend services around authentication, billing, analytics, LiveOps, localization pipelines, and operational infrastructure.
My current focus is moving deeper into backend, distributed systems, and Rust-based engineering, with strong interest in the Solana ecosystem, performance-focused products, and developer/platform tooling.
Comfortable both as a hands-on engineer and as a technical lead responsible for architecture, quality, mentoring, and delivery.
