I am a Unity Developer and I specialize in solving Unity performance, rendering, optimization, and technical development problems that are difficult to diagnose or expensive to fix. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science / Game Technology from Utrecht University and have 10 years of hobby experience alongside 2 years of professional experience as a Medior Unity Technical Artist at an offshore company. I help teams solve technical problems that slow down development or impact performance. I can help you with: Optimization: - Performance profiling and optimization (CPU, GPU, Garbage Collection) - CAD model optimization using Unity Asset Transformer / PiXYZ - Mobile game performance optimization and platform limitations - Baking lighting & shadows to increase performance Debugging: - Debugging complex or hard-to-reproduce issues - Editor tooling to improve artist and developer workflows - Lighting, UVs, Post-Processing and rendering-related technical issues Development: - Set up C# architecture and doing code cleanup for Unity projects - Dynamic Unity UI for desktop and mobile - VR setup and configuration using Meta VR - Lighting setup in both HDRP and URP - Building a WebGL game I have worked on real-time applications and offline visualizations for an offshore company, including a full high fidelity VR experience in HDRP showing offshore activities. I also have experience optimizing CAD models for Unity using PiXYZ. In addition, I independently developed a mobile culture learning app for both Android and iOS, providing me valuable experience with the limitations of mobile devices and UI scaling. I really value good communication, transparency and trustworthiness, and I focus on delivering practical solutions.

If you have a product idea you want to bring to life, I can help you turn it into something you can eventually hold in your hands. I’m a hands-on Mechanical Engineer with over 9 years of experience developing products from the first sketch all the way to fully functional prototypes. I work across every stage of the design process, including concept development, CAD modeling, manufacturing, testing, and assembly. Over the years, I’ve gained practical experience with a wide range of fabrication methods such as laser cutting, creating precise DXF files, CNC machining, milling, lathe work, and general mechanical assembly. This means you’re not just getting a designer, but someone who understands how a product is actually built and how it needs to function in the real world. Whether you need a clear product concept, detailed 3D models, functional prototypes, or a design refined for production, I can support your project from beginning to end. I can help you move smoothly through the entire development process, from the initial idea to a prototype you can test and hold. From the first conversation to the final result, you will always know where your project stands. If you’re ready to turn your idea from an initial thought into a physical product, I’d be happy to help you take that next step.
