Profile
Full-stack software engineer with 15+ years of commercial experience building scalable web apps, SaaS backend services and IoT systems for marketplaces, government, real estate, fintech, retail, gaming and education. I own complete development cycles — from backend APIs and database design to frontend UX — and care about clean, maintainable, well-tested code. Alongside that, I am focusing more deeply on game development: gameplay systems, simulation games, horror experiences and AI-assisted production workflows in Unity.
