"I've been making games since I was a teenager. What started in a bedroom in the Netherlands has taken me to Japan, China, London, Los Angeles, and Seoul."
I'm a senior Unity engineer with 15 years of commercial experience. I've shipped multiplayer platforms, mobile games, enterprise training systems, and real-time virtual productions — built on the same obsession with craft that started in a bedroom in Rotterdam.
Technology is the medium. The experience is the product.

Unity3D · C# · 15+ years commercial. Architecture to ship — mechanics, progression, combat, UI, and everything players interact with.
Photon PUN/Fusion · Coherence · Nakama · Agora. Real-time shared worlds, social gameplay loops, and voice/video integration across mobile and desktop.
iOS, Android, WebGL. Native bridge development — UnitySendMessage/Swift for iOS, AndroidJavaClass for Android. Low-spec optimisation for consumer hardware.
Addressables · Asset Bundles · PlayFab · IAP. Products built to scale after launch, not just to ship.
What makes this background unusual isn't any single skill — it's where they came from and how they developed together.
Started RosePortal Games at 21 and shipped 5 commercial RPGs independently — engine, art, writing, and publishing. The full product lifecycle, handled alone, before joining any team.
Sole Unity developer at Kippo: 3 months, live iOS and Android app, 500K+ downloads. Core team at ZTX for 2.5 years through a complete pivot from PC MMO to mobile social platform. Both required shipping fast with limited resources and moving targets.
Photon, Nakama, Agora, PlayFab, Addressables — production experience across shipped platforms, not prototypes. Native iOS and Android bridges. Single Unity codebase deployed to PC, iOS, and Android simultaneously.
Has designed game economies, written narratives, directed cutscenes, and built the systems that run all of them. Can read a design document critically and push back on scope before the build starts. Unity and C# remain the primary professional specialisation — the most recent role added Unreal Engine depth on top of that foundation.
Every role in the last decade has involved distributed teams, language gaps, or relocation. Served as the communication bridge between Korean and international engineering teams at ZTX. Currently Seoul-based; open to remote and Korea-based roles.
