Achievements: • Developed Server-side and client meta features, supporting rich player progression systems and long-term engagement strategies. • Delivered a robust content-picking system for the Quest Generator, enabling dynamic goal setting and gameplay variation, which led to improved player retention. • Created a convenient tool constructor for assembling tutorial structures with ease, enhancing the overall development speed and quality. • Created documentation for implemented features.

Worked on Mort (Little Reaper) project, a RougeLike beat 'em up with a detailed storyline and visuals. Developed custom solutions using UniRx, ECS, NodeCanvas, Zenject, and other tools and frameworks. Collaborated with a team of six client developers, one UI expert, one server developer, and the CTO. Currently developing MotoCity, an MMO simulator of a motorcycle courier in an open world with real-time servers.

Worked on two projects. Fury Wars Project: Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fury.wars.brawl.shooter.stars&hl=en_US&gl=US App store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fury-wars-online-shooter/id1492688850 POKI: https://poki.com/en/g/fury-wars -Development of the client side before and after release, integration of the Flurry SDK, Firebase analytics, Tapdaq advertising service, Tapjoy (offerwall), Social achievements (Google Play Games and Game Center), etc .; -Support after release; Personally implemented: TeamDeathMatch mode, UI controller, bots (AI), BattlePass, camera, controls, "bushes" (camouflage system) ... Adapted a build for POKI on WebGL platform. BlockyCars project: -Refactoring of legacy code; -Integration of native advertising SDK Sayollo, Admix; -Prototyping new features; -Mentoring; -Code review; -Building and publishing in Google Play, Appstore and Amazon stores. Personally implemented: a new damage system, new tutorial, ObjectPool, menus and windows for the editor (tools), method extensions, replacing "yield return new " in coroutines with static lists of predicates, which drastically reduced GC Allocations (it was ~ 15 spikes per minute, now 2-3 for the entire 3 minute match). I have easily communicated with the guys from Admix and Sayollo (advertising SDKs) in English, including calls. Common in both projects: -Bug fixes; -Implementation of new mechanics; -Performance optimization; -Refactoring; -Implementation of client-server communication.
