I’m a Unity Game Developer & Designer with 5+ years of professional experience building high-quality games and interactive experiences for mobile, PC, WebGL, AR, and VR platforms. I specialize in transforming ideas into polished, scalable, and visually engaging games — from gameplay systems and multiplayer networking to optimization, UI/UX, animations, VFX, and complete game architecture. I’ve worked on multiplayer games, racing games, simulation projects, AR/VR applications, real-money game systems, casual games, and large-scale Unity projects for both companies and international clients. My experience allows me to handle the full development cycle independently while maintaining production-level quality and performance. What makes me different is that I combine both technical development and creative game design skills, helping clients not only build games that work smoothly, but games that actually feel professional and enjoyable to play.

I develop Unity games for Android and iOS with a focus on smooth gameplay and stable performance. Most of my work is in team-based and multiplayer games where players connect easily, matches run clean and the whole experience stays stable on mobile devices. I also create AR and VR experiences that are tested on real devices and headsets, so the final build feels reliable instead of experimental. I run a proper game studio called Smashy Tech. We have a full team of designers, 3D modellers, animators, developers, testers and publishing support. Clients get everything under one roof without chasing multiple freelancers. The workflow stays clean, simple and well managed. Here’s the kind of work we handle: Android and iOS Unity game development Team-based and multiplayer systems Online gameplay using Photon, Fusion and Netcode AR and VR builds and prototypes 3D modelling, animations and environment design Investor demos and proof-of-concept builds Mobile optimization for better performance Play Store and App Store publishing support I keep communication straight and consistent so clients always know the actual progress. If something needs improvement, we fix it without dragging the project. If you want a dependable studio that delivers solid mobile games with multiplayer, AR, VR, modelling and animation support all in one place, Smashy Tech is ready to move your project forward.
