Experience

• Unity Developer (Contract / Small Studios) · 2023 — Present
  • Full-cycle development (10+ projects): Took ownership from concept to live ops, balancing rapid iteration cycles with long-term architectural maintainability.
  • Performance Engineering: Optimized memory footprint by 40% for WebGL environments by refactoring custom object pooling and implementing asset streaming via Addressables, ensuring 50–60 FPS on low-end mobile devices.
  • Architectural Strategy: Designed modular systems using Clean Architecture and MVP, which decreased feature implementation time by 30% for subsequent projects in the portfolio.
  • Technical Problem Solving: Reduced CPU spikes and GC pressure by 20–40% by profiling deep-level runtime allocations and migrating critical gameplay loops to struct-based data models.
  • Data-Driven Iteration: Integrated custom analytics tracking to identify churn points in progression funnels; translated raw player behavior data into specific gameplay adjustments that increased Day 7 retention.
  • Production Collaboration: Acted as a bridge between design and technical feasibility, helping stakeholders prioritize high-impact features and scope-creep prevention in limited-timeline environments.
