Career Progression

Career Experience & Leadership Cadence

From hands-on indie engineering to department management: 7+ years driving architecture, mentoring teams, and shipping production XR apps.

Engineering Methodology

Core Architectural Pillars

Engineering standards and architectural principles governing scalable development and production reliability across all projects.

Gameplay Systems & Clean Architecture

Modular, decoupled gameplay systems utilizing OOP, SOLID principles, ScriptableObject-based event architectures, and state machines. Ensuring multi-developer engineering squads can work concurrently without merge conflicts or architectural bloat.

Mixed Reality & XR Interaction

Deep expertise with Unity XR Interaction Toolkit, OpenXR, and custom physical interaction mechanics. Designing ergonomic grab points, haptic feedback curves, and multiplayer state synchronization over Photon PUN for enterprise simulations.

Performance Profiling & Optimization

Rigorous optimization passes for standalone VR (Meta Quest 2) and mobile. Profiling CPU/GPU bottlenecks, memory allocations (zero GC in hot loops), dynamic draw call batching, texture streaming, and occlusion culling to sustain rock-solid 90 FPS.

Team Direction, CI/CD & Agile Delivery

Guiding 3D artists, technical artists, and junior/senior developers through structured Git workflows, automated multi-platform build pipelines (MPBT), sprint retrospectives, and clear requirement translation from executive stakeholders.
