Senior Game Engineer

I founded 2AM Games to provide software consulting and development services, and am expanding the studio into original game development. My independent projects and prototypes explore mechanics and build playable concepts for future commercial releases. I shape project scope and technical direction while implementing and refining game systems. I offer engineering services for games and interactive software, drawing on experience in feature development, service integration, and codebase evolution.

Joined Ello as Employee #15, helping build and evolve Unity products at a Y Combinator-backed startup creating AI-powered learning experiences for children. I connected interactive reading, progression and the Book Library with backend services, developed reusable client systems, and improved loading and mobile performance. Across an international product team, I also regularly served as Release Owner, coordinating regular releases, documentation and App Store submissions.

Developed and maintained commercial Unity games and assessment products for children, from gameplay and shared minigame systems to content tooling, offline persistence and service integration. Alongside implementation, I coordinated technical planning, aligned priorities and guided other developers. Working with multidisciplinary teams and product stakeholders, I supported feature delivery, release preparation and the continued evolution of several long-lived products.

Developed mobile applications for education and enterprise clients, connecting user interfaces and business logic with REST services and local data. My work spanned requirements discussions, implementation, debugging and production support. Working directly with clients and delivery teams, I helped translate operational needs into software features and maintain existing applications, building the professional software foundation I later brought to game engineering.
