Engineering the logic. Designing the impact.

I am a London-based Unity Developer and Technical Designer, specializing in Gameplay Architecture and Game Feel. With a background rooted in high-stakes commercial AR/interactive installations, I bring a delivery-focused, highly optimized approach to game development.

I don't just write code; I translate creative visions into technical realities. Currently, I am operating as the Acting Technical Lead for a UK-based multiplayer title, while simultaneously engineering core systems for a Japanese indie studio's upcoming Steam release.

Whether I am architecting scalable C# frameworks, debugging complex netcode, or tweaking frame-perfect hit-stops to maximize combat impact, my philosophy remains the same: Build resilient systems that respect the player's rhythm.

Core Development Pillars

Driving full-cycle game production with a delivery-focused mindset. Specializing in authoring comprehensive technical documentation, task trackers, and dependency maps. I proactively manage project scope, executing feature triage and dynamic programming pivots to ensure viable milestone deliveries against tight time and resource constraints.
Architecting robust synchronization logic and scalable multiplayer frameworks. Experienced in engineering real-time data syncing and peer-to-peer connectivity using Unity Netcode for GameObjects, Unity Relay, and Photon, ensuring seamless state management across diverse network conditions.
Bridging the gap between robust code and arcade-style impact. Designing modular, data-driven frameworks (ScriptableObjects, FSMs) while integrating custom VFX triggers, screen shakes, and animation states to translate abstract creative visions into punchy, highly optimized mechanics.
