About

Senior Software Engineer focused on game and backend systems, with experience building and contributing to multiple games using Flutter and Cocos2D. I primarily work with Dart and JavaScript, along with Python, and have additional experience in Go, Java, Swift, Kotlin, and Objective-C, with a focus on clean architecture, performance, and maintainability. I enjoy owning problems end-to-end—from design to production—and building systems that scale reliably in fast-paced environments. Recently, I’ve been enabling AI-assisted development within the team, improving developer workflows and iteration speed. I also have a strong interest in fintech and trading systems, and have worked on a crypto-related project in the trading space.
