I make videos about Unity, Unreal Engine, and game dev stuff like design patterns. Sometimes I just talk — about life, creativity, and the ups and downs of being a developer. It’s a mix of code, real talk, and whatever’s on my mind.

At Unico, I worked on scaling and updating live games with millions of players, while also contributing to the development of a new casual puzzle title from scratch. I supported the backend team on the client side and implemented core systems with a focus on clean, efficient, and advanced programming practices. My work included optimizing performance, improving code architecture, and building modular gameplay features used across multiple projects.

I worked as the overall lead on a casual beauty center game. I played an active role in establishing the project's core architecture and integrating live ops elements. Additionally, I provided mentorship to the development team.

Worked on a Match-3 casual game, developing core gameplay mechanics and live ops systems. Collaborated closely with backend teams and implemented advanced Unity features such as Addressables, async systems, and performance optimizations.

I contributed to the architectural foundation of a casual mobile game, supporting the development of the core base project and ensuring scalability and maintainability through clean code practices.

As the co-founder of a game startup backed by investment, we successfully released a PC game titled Crowalt. I led architecture and development processes, especially in Unity, and also worked on several casual mobile game projects from prototype to release.

In this data-focused role, I prepared business unit reports using SQL and developed automation tools with Python to streamline internal processes and improve data handling efficiency.

During my high school senior year, I completed an internship where I was responsible for the technical and software maintenance of office computers, gaining hands-on experience in IT support and infrastructure.
