Stability & Performance: Handled ANRs and crash rates by in-depth profiling and analysis and utilizing a well-planned live update pipeline

System Design: Developed various systems (such as UI, tutorial, lootbox, quest, authentication systems), designed with testability and modularity in mind

Helped external game developers to integrate our SDK into their games, document and report bugs within the SDK and find workarounds.

Got involved with a lot of hyper-casual games and gained in-depth knowledge of the rapid turnover development cycle

I have worked with this great indie team on three titles: their horror game Wounded, an unpublished IP called Last Words and currently working on Wolfsbane, an action multiplayer game.

I designed and implemented complex gameplay systems, focusing on modularity and re-usability across multiple titles.

As a technical lead, I was directing technical strategy for Wolfsbane (Action Multiplayer game) and Wounded (action horror game). As part of a very lean indie team my responsibilities as the lead programmer were to make bespoke technical decisions and counsel on every unique situation considering the time, budget, and manpower restraints. I also carried out the design and implementation of a lot of the mechanics in the games, guide my colleagues through Unity specific problems as well as contributed with my own game design ideas.

As a certified Unity Instructor, I am teaching students to learn how to use the Unity game development engine to make games and other interactive content for 2D, 3D and VR

Wrote unit tests using phpunit as part of the Laravel framework

Implemented various functionalities and integrated plugins for a real estate chatbot framework

Got accustomed to MVC frameworks, as well as working as part of an agile development pipeline.

I used knowledge in editing, montage, composition, and rendering to prepare shots from Hollywood movies for the subsequent stages of the post-processing pipeline|

Also wrote Python scripts for Nuke and SilhouetteFX cause why not
