Experience

For VR

Tech Lead

My main project at the moment. Developing a VR game in the VR arena genre with full multiplayer for Oculus VR.

As an experienced Unity developer, I was interested in developing for VR devices. Together with my team, I set out to create a multiplayer VR arena for Android. Working with a skilled team, I created an immersive gameplay experience with realistic hand tracking, weapon mechanics and dynamic player movement. At the same time, I developed a robust Windows-based server infrastructure to manage player data and provide a seamless multiplayer experience. This project not only deepened my knowledge of VR development, but also ignited my passion for innovative gaming solutions.

Multiplayer Game Developer

Tech Lead

For about two years I have specialised in the development of multiplayer games. The main frameworks I used were Unet, Mirror and PUN. Lately I've been working exclusively with Mirror. Mostly I deal with building server architecture of lobby, game scene, synchronisation of game objects and data.

I led the development of a VR game, focusing on creating a compelling multiplayer experience using the Mirror Unity library. I designed an immersive VR environment with hand tracking, weapon mechanics and seamless player interaction. By implementing the Mirror library, players could connect and compete in immersive multiplayer battles. Extensive testing and optimisation ensured smooth and stable gameplay, resulting in a successful launch of the VR game, providing players with a real-time shared experience.

2020 - present

For Android

Unity Developer

Hypercasual game development for Android. Rapid prototyping. Expansion of existing games.

I used to specialise in hypercasual game development. My tasks included rapid development of game prototypes for the purpose of in-store testing. Basically, I was involved in developing a game from concept to a prototype that ran in the app shop. I integrated libraries for metrics, adverts and other libraries.

2019 - 2021

Game Development on Unity

Junior Unity Developer

I've been creating my own pet projects. Also developed my own applications for Android. I created my own small PHP servers to work with SQL. I published my own applications on Google Play.

As a hobby, I enthusiastically got into game development on Unity, collaborating with friends on various small projects. Together we honed our skills in scripting, level design and asset integration, overcoming challenges and learning from the development process of each project. These collaborative experiences not only stimulated my creativity, but also fostered a sense of teamwork and camaraderie, laying the foundation for my growth as a Unity developer and sparking a passion for game development.
