Profile

Senior Unity Developer with 8+ years shipping production-grade mobile, WebGL, GameFi, and Telegram mini-app titles across casual, idle, tower defense, and MMORPG genres. Proven full-cycle delivery: from prototype and core gameplay through SDK integration, ads/IAP monetization, performance profiling, store publishing, and live-ops support. Experienced technical leader (teams up to 15) with hands-on engineering depth — recently expanding into agentic AI systems, n8n automation pipelines, and proxy API tooling. Best fit for studios or funded founders needing a senior individual contributor who can also own architecture and delivery risk.
