I build the systems and tools other developers work inside of. My last two Upwork contracts ran over two years each. Clients tend to keep me on long after the original scope closes. Day to day I'm a senior developer on a PS5/PC title in development at a licensed PlayStation studio, built in Unity 6 with HDRP. I build the internal tooling our designers and tech artists work in, mostly level authoring and testing, mechanic prototyping and content pipelines. I also own world streaming, performance profiling and optimization, and upscaling integration (DLSS/FSR) end to end. I take contract work alongside that when the problem is technical rather than cosmetic. What I get hired for: • Editor tools and custom inspectors that cut manual work for designers • Gameplay systems: inventories, stats and abilities, save/load, data-driven content • Multiplayer: networked state, authority, desync debugging • Architecture and refactoring, for codebases that grew organically and now need structure • Debugging and performance work on projects already in trouble How I work: I ask questions up front rather than rebuild twice. If I think a request is a bad idea, I'll say so and explain why. Estimates come with what's included and what isn't. Not a fit for: art, hands-on level design, or an entire game from scratch on a fixed price. If you've got a system that needs building or a codebase that's fighting you, send me the details and I'll tell you what I think it takes.
