Summary
Lead Gameplay / Multiplayer Engineer (Unity, Unreal, C++)
Lead Gameplay and Multiplayer Engineer with over 15 years of experience developing commercial games across ACT, ARPG, CCG, and SLG genres for PC, mobile (iOS and Android), and console (PlayStation and Xbox). I have contributed to multiple shipped commercial titles and have led engineering across major projects from architecture through delivery.
I specialize in game architecture, gameplay systems, combat, animation, physics, networking, UI, tools, and live-update infrastructure. I am highly experienced with Unity, Unreal Engine, and proprietary C++ engines, and I can also contribute to graphics programming for gameplay and production needs.
I am passionate about games both as a developer and as a player. Having spent thousands of hours with titles such as Street Fighter 5, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, and Baldur’s Gate 3, I have a strong sense of what makes games feel engaging, polished, and rewarding, and I bring that perspective into development decisions.
