My Work

Founding Engineer & Tech Director · 2020–Present

Started from scratch. Built the technical foundation for five games across mobile, web, and Telegram. Led a team of 4 engineers. The hard part wasn't the games—it was the server-authoritative multiplayer handling 30–40 tournaments with 2,500 players each. Shipped it, scaled it to 2,500+ concurrent users, kept it running.

Platform Engineer · 2025–Present

5 million events a day from 100+ data sources. The hard part isn't throughput—it's keeping everyone sane about what's happening. Built the observability so complex systems don't become black boxes. Also: getting LLMs to actually work in production without breaking everything. It's weird and hard.

Lead Engineer · 2011–2015

Led the team through 6 shipped games, millions of players. Built SkyVuNetwork—the backend that handled economies, clans, missions, multiplayer, all the stuff that kept people coming back. Every architecture decision was mine. Which meant every mistake was too. Learned how to set standards that outlast your involvement and how to actually help people grow.

Senior Engineer · 2015–2015

Part of the team that shipped Dragon Soul to $35 million. Worked in Java, built backend systems for gameplay mechanics and player progression. Learned what it takes to ship at scale and how to collaborate when everyone has different constraints.

Senior Engineer · 2019–2020

Worked on Disney Emoji Blitz and Frozen Adventures with millions of daily players. Built a Unity Editor tool that let designers create levels without calling engineering. No more waiting. No more back-and-forth. That's good platform work.

Software Architect · 2017–2019

Led 3 teams and 15+ engineers across 4 projects. Built a modular framework that other teams could actually use. Not just fast, but clear. If you didn't design it, you should still be able to own it. Then mentored everyone on how to use it and why it mattered.

Consultant Software Architect · 2015–2017

Consultant architect for GameStop, financial institutions, and government contractors. Helped massive companies figure out their infrastructure. Built systems in ASP.NET, Node.js, and Angular. Learned that architecture doesn't matter if your team doesn't understand it.
