I’m a senior software engineer with 15+ years delivering production software across games, web, mobile, desktop, and interactive 3D/VR. I’m Unity certified, but I’m not limited to Unity. I’ve worked with both startups and established studios (Trailmix Games, Gram Games, Jam City, The Other Guys, Widow Games, Wannabe, The Whitebox), and I also take on freelance projects where I own the delivery end-to-end. Clients bring me in when they need someone who can take a vague brief and turn it into a working, maintainable product: scoping, architecture, implementation, testing, build and release, and production support. I’m comfortable jumping into an existing codebase, fixing what’s slowing it down, and leaving it in a better state than I found it. What I can help with: - Building new features or whole apps from scratch - Fixing bugs, performance issues, stability problems, and messy architectures - Integrations: third-party SDKs, payments, backend services, analytics - Automation and tooling to speed up delivery and reduce manual work - Game and interactive work (Unity/Unreal/WebGL) when that’s the right fit Tech and platforms I commonly work with: - Languages: C#, C++, C, Java, Scala, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, PHP, HTML/CSS - Platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, console, AR/VR, plus hardware projects (Arduino, Raspberry Pi) How I work: I start by confirming goals and constraints, then propose a plan with clear milestones. I communicate early about risks and trade-offs, and I document key decisions so you can maintain the project after handover. If you share a brief, I’ll reply with a practical approach, a milestone breakdown, and an estimate.

I have worked with some of the best studios in the world to create games from AAA to indie in every genre from platforming, MMORPG's to VR beat em ups! Having started programming since the C64 at age 9 I have continually developed my skills which have let me build tools, systems and content for games over the years. I even ran my own successful studio for several years before being bought over. Now with time on my hands I'm working with studios to take them to the next level and build tools and features that excite me! That's where you come in. What do you have that excites me to work on your products and how can we work together to achieve this?

Senior .NET & Unity developer specializing in multiplayer games, server architecture, and custom game tooling. My main focus is online game development for PC, Android and iOS using Unity and C#. I design and implement full server client architecture including networking, databases, matchmaking, persistence, and live service systems. I have built large scale multiplayer systems including MMO style worlds, competitive card games, grid based strategy games, and action combat systems with client side prediction. Beyond gameplay I spend a lot of time building the tooling that makes projects sustainable. I regularly create custom editors and pipelines that allow designers and non technical staff to create content such as cards, levels, behaviours, quests, items, and encounters without needing to touch code. These tools usually integrate directly with server side data and live game environments. I am comfortable building the entire backend stack for a game including dedicated servers, login services, account systems, databases, CDN infrastructure, and live operations tooling. My projects often include automated content pipelines, JSON driven game data, asset delivery systems, and custom editor workflows inside Unity. Some examples of systems I regularly build include Multiplayer networking and server architecture Client side prediction and authoritative server simulation Custom Unity editor tools for game designers MMO style persistence and database driven worlds Procedural generation systems and runtime content Matchmaking and lobby systems Live service features such as shops, rewards, achievements, and progression Self hosted CDN and backend infrastructure I tend to work on projects where the gameplay is only one piece of the puzzle and the real work is building the technology that allows the game to scale and evolve over time. If you are building an online game and need someone who can handle both the gameplay systems and the backend architecture, I can help.
