Expert Game and App Developer | Unity / Mobile / Web / PC / Consoles

I am a cofounder of Create Neptune, a software and game development studio focusing on creating fun, user-focused, and beautiful apps and games for mobile (iOS / Android), web, PC, and consoles. Our developers and designers have worked on franchises like Scrabble and The Sims, and with companies like Mattel, EA, 2K Games, Estée Lauder, The New York Times, AppLovin (Lion Studios), and Boombit. I have led app development projects from the concept phase to post-launch marketing, and I am an expert in all stages of the application and game development life cycle. I am particularly attuned to the commercial side of application and game development: I was previously a hedge fund analyst focusing on the energy and power sector, and a mathematics, economics, and finance instructor. At Create Neptune I have published dozens of mobile games, with our most successful app Paddle Clash reaching millions of users worldwide since publication in mid-2020 and maintaining a 4.9 / 5.0 globally and 4.7 / 5.0 in the US on the App Store. Aside from our published portfolio, I have concepted, prototyped, and built dozens of other 2D and 3D games for a variety of clients, from Fortune 500 mega-caps to bootstrapped startups. I have almost a decade of game and app development. I typically work in Unity (C#), but I have also worked on successful native apps for iOS (Xcode, Swift) as well (Pandamonium, iOS, 4.7 / 5.0 on App Store). I have worked on numerous apps from the concept and prototype phases to post-launch marketing, so I can be with you every step of the way in the creative process. Specifically, in addition to coding, I can provide concept and prototype work, professional-quality UI and UX, 2D and 3D artwork, and marketing services. Lastly, I am very familiar with the post-launch app marketing process and publishing process on both the App Store and Google Play, and I would be happy to help you and your team with my experience. I began my career in finance as a mergers and acquisitions investment banker and an energy and power analyst at a distressed debt fund, completing the largest leveraged buyout in fund history and managing a book of $1.3 bn of energy and power assets. I have also worked as a mathematics and economics instructor, designing several advanced mathematics and financial analysis courses. My studio regularly works on cutting edge applications in Unity. Just a few examples: • We developed Scrabble Vision (Mattel), an AR companion application for the physical Scrabble board game, in Unity • We developed and helped design RYZ Home (IKIN), a holographic AR application, in Unity • We developed and designed software for a private research study (Estée Lauder), using OpenCV and AR, in Unity • We developed and designed StarStarter (Arcade Therapeutics), a digital anxiety treatment game, in Unity • We developed and helped design Skylar's Run (Thynk), a digital ADHD treatment game, in Unity • We developed and designed Highlandia (Highlands Community Charter), an English language learning game featuring 10 different mini-games, in Unity
