Unity developer with a technical art background, working across the full real-time pipeline — from gameplay and tooling code to shaders, VFX, lighting and optimization. I sit comfortably between engineering and art, which lets me translate creative intent into something that actually ships and holds framerate. I've delivered projects across AR/VR, WebGL and mobile, each with its own constraints: XR comfort and interaction design, aggressive draw-call and memory budgets on mobile, and load-time and build-size discipline for the web. That range has made me pragmatic about trade-offs and comfortable owning a feature end to end, from prototype to release build. On the art side, my focus is real-time VFX — particle systems, VFX Graph, custom shaders and Shader Graph — along with the tooling that keeps production moving: editor scripts, automated asset workflows and art-side debugging tools. I also integrate AI throughout my 3D creation process, using generative and assistive tools for concepting, texturing, asset generation, retopology support and iteration speed. I treat AI as part of the pipeline rather than a novelty: it shortens the distance between idea and playable prototype, while the final quality bar stays a craft decision.

As you review my profile, you might notice a number of jobs listed as "in progress." Most of these, however, are not actively ongoing. I'm mindful about not closing these contracts myself due to the potential impact on my Job Success Score (JSS). It is often advised that having clients conclude contracts is preferable, as it encourages them to leave feedback, which is crucial for a freelancer's reputation on Upwork. Though I have successfully completed many projects and received payment, some clients have not taken the step to formally end the contracts or leave feedback. I have made polite and periodic attempts to contact them for closure and reviews, often without receiving a response. There are also instances where clients have ceased communication, possibly moving away from Upwork. Despite these challenges, I am fully committed to delivering quality work on every project I undertake. Please be assured, these open contracts do not reflect my dedication to my work or my ability to deliver high-quality outcomes.

I started my C# career writing diagnostic software for nuclear power plants. Reliability there wasn't a feature. It was the baseline. That habit never left me, and these days it goes into my Unity work: small, focused tasks, full games, and everything in between. 7 years of C#. PC, mobile, VR. I can jump into an existing project, own a standalone system, or take your idea or GDD all the way to a working MVP: planning, architecture, gameplay, UI, integrations, optimization, testing, and builds you can actually play. 🔹 SOME THINGS I'VE BUILT • Godly Survivors, an action roguelite released on Steam. I designed and developed it solo, including custom progression, enemy AI with dynamic difficulty, and runtime world generation. I owned its design and development from first concept to launch. • Expanded a 12-level 3D educational game for kids with new arcade mechanics, story progression, and supporting systems. • Developed VR/XR apps for Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro with live 360° video, streamed content, and backend integration. • Built mobile games and simulators featuring boat physics with water dynamics, time-stop puzzle mechanics, REST APIs, Firebase, and monetization. • On one optimization job, I cut an app's build size by 5x. I genuinely enjoy profiling and hunting down CPU/GPU bottlenecks. 🔹 WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU • Build your game from start to finish: indie titles, MVPs, and vertical slices. • Design and code gameplay systems: combat that feels right, enemy AI, abilities, inventory, economy, progression, and save systems. I lean on data-driven configs so designers can tune things without touching code. • Help on the design side too: core loops, balance models, docs a team can implement without guessing, and custom Unity Editor tools when a workflow needs one. • Take over or extend an existing project: new features, bug fixes, refactoring, third-party integrations, and gameplay or UI polish. • Profile and optimize for PC, mobile, and VR. • Handle backend and platform integrations: Firebase, REST APIs, Addressables, IAP, ads, and the SDKs your project needs. 🔹 HOW I WORK Clear milestones, risks raised early, and playable builds throughout instead of one big reveal at the end. AI speeds up implementation and testing; I do the thinking, shape the architecture, and make the final call. You get honest progress updates, documented changes, and code the next developer won't curse at. I care about the product, not just the paycheck. Details matter to me. Whether it's a focused fix, an indie MVP, or something bigger (AAA too, assuming you bring the studio 🙂), send me your idea, GDD, current build, or task description, and I'll help turn it into a working result.

10 Reasons to Choose the Genesis WordPress Framework

Genesis is a favorite among developers for a number of reasons, but clients have more than a few reasons to love it, too.

What is the Genesis Framework?

Think of it like this: If WordPress is the engine of the car, Genesis is all of the parts. And Genesis child themes—the look and feel of your site—are the paint job. Genesis makes WordPress sites more extensible, more secure, easier to update, and it’s built on great SEO standards. It’s used on over 300,000 sites, and for bigger sites with lots of customization, it’s a helpful layer for building and maintaining excellent code for the lifespan of a site.

The Genesis Framework is much more than a theme, though. It’s a foundation for WordPress sites—an underlying framework of immaculate code that’s easy to work with and provides accelerated, powerful WordPress development. And that’s really what it boils down to: taking WordPress sites to the next level, both for developers and the site owners.

THE GENESIS ADVANTAGE

Once I used Genesis to develop WordPress sites, there was no going back. When I first started building WordPress sites, everything needed to be hand-coded: headers, footers, menus, and more. Not only was it time-consuming, updating to new versions of WordPress ran the risk of breaking that customized code. With Genesis, anything customized is filed separately from the framework code—which is helpful in more than a few ways.

Here are 10 reasons Genesis-powered WordPress sites have some major benefits:

  1. Get the most out of your site’s SEO. The basics for an optimized site are clean code and great architecture. With support for Schema.org code, which allows you to output microdata in your site’s code, your site’s search engine optimization (SEO) gets even better. Genesis also makes Google Author Identification incredibly simple. Also, all of the Genesis themes get search engine optimized by pros in-house before they’re launched.
  2. Take the worry out of updating to new versions of WordPress. You can update to new versions of WordPress without losing your customizations. With the Genesis framework, customization happens in child themes, which are like skins that sit on top of the framework to make your site look different. Instead of making changes to the framework itself, all customizations are made to the child theme, in separate child theme files.When it’s time to update to a new version of WordPress, only the underlying code is touched—not your theme. No design breaks or last-minute fixes. No more avoiding updates, or spending hours cleaning up after them. Genesis makes this incredibly easy.
  3. Updating keeps security locked down. Speaking of updating, WordPress sites that aren’t updated regularly can be vulnerable to getting hacked, which is an expensive, time-consuming hassle. Updating is a cinch with Genesis, keeping your site safe in the long run.
  4. Run and update multiple sites. With the Genesis framework as your underlying foundation, if you have multiple domains running, it’s easy to update important underlying code across all sites without affecting the child themes on top.
  5. Want to extend a site’s functionality even more? Genesis makes it easy. Whether you want to put any of WordPress’s many widgets to use—sidebars, forms, social sharing, etc.—Genesis makes this easy to customize without messing with any code. Also, absolutely anything you can see can be moved, changed, deleted, or reconfigured so that your site does exactly what you want. You can choose a different sidebar layout for different pages and posts, create Simple Sidebars for different parts of your site, add custom post types, or even make a homepage full of nothing but widget areas where you can drag and drop content.
  6. Child themes give you access to beautiful, responsive designs—but you’ll need a developer who knows CSS, PHP, and Genesis Hooks to customize them. Child themes look great right out of the box, but you can edit a child theme as much as you want. Updating a theme happens in a separate file from the framework, so you can make changes to your design without affecting the build of your site, and vice versa—update the underlying code without disrupting the design.This also means that it’s mandatory to use a child theme when you use Genesis. Otherwise, if you’re making your customizations right in Genesis, the next time it updates you’ll lose all of those customizations. Note that it can be tricky to edit child themes without a skilled developer who knows plenty of CSS and PHP, as well as Genesis Hooks. Any design editing has to be done in the “style.css” file, so it’s helpful to know your way around there. But any functionality editing is accomplished with Genesis Hooks, the “functions.php” file, or custom PHP templates. A Genesis pro will also know other helpful workarounds.
  7. The benefits of HTML5 code. HTML5 is the newest standard, which ensures your site works well with future browser updates. It means better performance for your site, cross-browser compatibility, and a more mobile-friendly design. For clients, that translates to a smoother site with pages that load in just milliseconds.It has other benefits too, like better audio and video, and other features that improve the functionality of your site. I’ll emphasize this again: Genesis is all about clean, concise code, and HTML5 is the best out there.
  8. It’s backed by a dedicated team of developers, so it’s always updated—and on the cutting edge. The StudioPress team uses coding best practice to continually update and maintain Genesis. Sometimes, themes purchased from smaller developers may get outdated and become incompatible with newer technology if they’re not frequently updated. Genesis is backed by a great organization, so you can count on it being a reliable framework for the future.
  9. Leverage the Synthesis hosting platform for amazing performance. The servers at Synthesis are specifically configured to get the most out of WordPress Genesis sites. This means you’ll get lightning-fast fast load times and be crash-proof during events like traffic spikes from incoming links. The custom server stack at Synthesis is comparable to other high-end hosting services, but it’s optimized for Genesis sites, so it “keeps it all in the family.” Have a lot of images or data? It’s worth looking into Synthesis to ensure fast connections and a good user experience.
  10. And of course, you’re getting access to the whole WordPress kitchen sink. Genesis child themes can be integrated with all the WordPress features you love:
  • Comments
  • Advertising widgets
  • Sidebars, headers, and footers, in any configuration
  • Featured image capability, which Genesis allows you to adjust the size of to suit your theme
  • Any WordPress plugin, plus some dedicated Genesis plugins, too. You’re not limited to Genesis-specific plugins, but they’re convenient because you know right off the bat they’ll be compatible with your theme. Definitely take the time to evaluate what plugins you need, though. Some features of Genesis make WordPress plugins moot, and it’s always good to get rid of excess plugins to keep your site running smoothly.

Investing in Genesis: a developer’s perspective

From a developer’s standpoint, there’s a ton of value in investing in Genesis.

  • First, it’s very affordable for all that it offers. Once you’re signed up, you can build an unlimited number of sites with Genesis—no cap, no max. If you opt for the Developer Pro, you’ve got unlimited access to themes, and you can use it on as many sites as you want.
  • For each of these Genesis sites, you’ll get unlimited, lifetime support if you need it, which includes access to the Genesis team of experts and a community forum maintained by over 134,000 active users. Throw your question up in one of the support forums, or seek out a tutorial for something specific on Google search.
  • However, support probably won’t be on your radar all that often, and that’s because the underlying Genesis framework is incredibly user-friendly. It’s easy to learn, and once you learn it, you know it forever. While child themes may have variations on how they work, the framework itself doesn’t change. Developers can learn how the Genesis scaffolding works and apply that knowledge to every site they build with it in the future.
