I optimized the game for a wide range of devices and configured and released it on the Android and iOS stores.

Train Your Memory Game

Players are shown dimly lit images, swiftly followed by four strikingly similar visuals, pushing the limits of cognitive abilities to accurately pinpoint the original masterpiece amidst the cleverly crafted variations.

I have designed, developed, and tested the Android and iOS versions, completed with graphical assets and level design. I optimized the game for a wide range of devices and configured and released it on the Android and iOS stores.

Match-3 Game

Discover ancient Egypt's secrets in this mesmerizing match-3 game, featuring innovative mechanics and spellbinding power-ups for endless puzzle-solving fun.

I have developed the code with Unity3D and C#, designed graphics, created levels, invented various mechanics, and conducted quality assurance for a comprehensive gaming experience.

TankTrouble 3D

TankTrouble 3D is a free-to-play online multiplayer tank brawler that takes classic top-down combat into a stylized 3D environment. Up to six players compete in randomly generated maze arenas. It was developed at The Sixth Hammer together with Sublab Games, as the follow-up to TankTrouble 2, which reached over 10 million users and still has a large active player base. The game is currently in closed alpha testing.

I led the team that developed a proprietary multiplayer system on Photon Quantum and created and optimized the game with custom 3D models and shading. I engineered the matchmaking and cross-play so matches stay smooth across PC, Web, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Mac, Android, and iOS, and built the randomly generated maze levels and dynamic weapon power-ups.

I created the tournaments system, the achievements, and the player progression, and calibrated the in-game economy. I also built a web admin interface with React and Firebase for tracking game analytics, collecting events in enough detail to recreate a full session, calibrating the economy, and running special events and tournaments. The monetization covers battle passes, in-game currency packs, customizable skins, loot boxes, and ad placements.

Moo Ball

Moo Ball is a goofy, electrifying cross-platform esports phenomenon with addictive multiplayer fun derived from the popular Moo Lander series.

I led the team that developed the code, designed the graphics, handled level and mission design, and ported and optimized the game for a comprehensive gaming experience across PCs, consoles, and mobile phones.

I designed twenty unique characters with unlockable abilities and upgradable stats, and more than ten distinct Moo Balls with unique mechanics. I created PvP arenas with vertical and horizontal layouts featuring interactive environmental hazards and developed the monetization strategy, including in-game purchases, loot boxes, and sponsorship features, along with the matchmaking and ranking systems.

Galigupta Game

Project Galigupta is a multiplayer action RPG set in a magical pirate world of islands and open sea. It has naval battles, hack and slash combat, an honor system that reshapes the world around the player's decisions, and co-op for up to four players. It is coming to PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Mac, Nintendo Switch, and Steam Deck with full cross-play. The development team includes people who previously worked at Disney and Ubisoft.

I am the lead programmer and software architect. I am building the honor system that dynamically alters gameplay, NPC interactions, and world states based on player decisions, and I designed four main continents and tens of islands with diverse biomes combining hand-crafted and procedurally generated elements. I am also building the combat system, the cross-play and cross-progression, and the character and base-building framework.

Nava - AI Travel Platform

Nava is an AI-assisted travel booking and personalized itinerary platform.

I led the system production and engineered a secure, scalable architecture on React, Next.js, Supabase, and PostgreSQL. I implemented the AI logic using Claude and Gemini to find, fetch, process, and enrich large datasets and power the platform's automated "Vacation Builder" and "Road Trip Builder," and created all of the UI components for a smooth experience on mobile and desktop.

I built the user groups with granular permissions and user contributions, backed by automatic AI validation and admin tools for content management, implemented Stripe payments, and handled pull requests, Vercel deployments, and the Supabase structure and security settings. The work transformed a rapid prototype into a stable, maintainable MVP.

"Digital Twin" Semiconductor Simulation

An immersive educational "digital twin" simulation for training semiconductor factory workers in a virtual cleanroom environment. The simulation features a detailed replica of a semiconductor facility with multiple cleanrooms and dozens of interactive machines. Users can initiate chip manufacturing processes through in-game terminals, observe workflows, and access detailed manuals and technical documentation for each machine.

I designed and built the end-to-end simulation, developing a digital twin demo covering the different manufacturing processes inside the facility and implementing functional chip-manufacturing processes, terminal-based workflows, context-aware interactions, and integrated production manuals. I gamified the experience with a tweakable economy, production lines, and deadlines.

I achieved top-tier visual performance using advanced Unity HDRP techniques, designed and shaded the missing models of machines and machine elements, and heavily optimized the topology of the models provided by the client.

Standard Patient Studio - Department of Defense Medical Training

A Department of Defense-sponsored interactive medical education platform used for military medical training, requiring development within a highly sensitive and detail-oriented environment.

I implemented advanced UX design improvements to make the platform easier to navigate, expanded the core back-end functionality to support new training requirements, and added new training programs that include automatic scoring assessments.

BillPay - Utility Bill Management Platform

BillPay is an internal utility bill management system that enables the management of payments and bills and distributes them across users.

I led the development team across both the front-end and back-end infrastructure and implemented the database and system architecture that handles complex roles and permissions management based on strict requirements. I managed the entire project lifecycle from the initial requirements gathering to the final launch, and handled the server deployment and database setup using PHP, Laravel, MySQL, and React.

Game Back End and Live-ops System

A back-end and admin system for live games that gives the studio full visibility over player behavior and direct control over the running game.

I recorded player actions in Google BigQuery so that entire play sessions can be fully reproduced, built detailed analyses and reports on each player's playstyle, and created a satisfaction system that tunes itself to each player based on the collected data, nudging them towards the goals set for the game.

The system provides full player profile and inventory control, real-time tuning of the in-game economy and prices, and tools for setting up tournaments and pushing announcements, events, and special offers. Data is stored in Google Firebase and BigQuery, and the admin is built with React, Next.js, and Node.js and deployed to a serverless Cloudflare Worker.

Marketing Platform for Game Studios

An internal platform that streamlines marketing communications and manages engagements with partners and influencers.

I led the design and implementation, focusing on influencer management, campaign communications, and server management using Laravel Nova and PostgreSQL. I implemented IMAP inbox syncing so that influencer correspondence lives inside the platform, and built custom reports that make managing and tracking those communications much easier.

ZonaBG - eCommerce Portal and Business Directory

ZonaBG is an eCommerce platform and business directory featuring many small shops and local businesses, developed from the ground up.

I developed the platform with panels for products, orders, firms, consultants, and administrators, and built an advertising system for placing ads and paying via online payment gateways. I also created a 3D visualization platform for Morado, a company that sells interior designs, and developed a rent-a-car system for e-renting a vehicle in Bulgaria. I worked with many customers and provided customer support for ZonaBG.

Dental Forum Montana - Event Website

https://dentalforum-montana.eu/
The website of one of the largest dental forums in Bulgaria.

I built the site along with email integrations and notifications covering the subscription status and any news or changes regarding the event, and a parametrized pricing calculator. The site scores 100% on Lighthouse and has an adaptable dark and light theme, plus a mobile-optimized version with bottom navigation.

SpecBooks - eCommerce Migration

https://specbooks.com/

I migrated legacy eCommerce functionality to a modern platform using PHP and MySQL, reworked the existing database structures to improve application performance, and implemented back-end improvements to streamline the client's daily operations.

Dom BG - Timber-framed Houses

https://dom-bg.com/
A company portfolio website for a manufacturer of timber-framed houses.

I built the site that presents the manufacturer and its houses, and created interactive demonstrations of the building process and individual elements. It scores 100% on Lighthouse and has an adaptable dark and light theme plus a mobile-optimized version with bottom navigation.

Plovdiv Game Jam - Event Website

https://plovdivgamejam.org/
Plovdiv Game Jam is the largest game jam in Bulgaria and part of the Global Game Jam. It has been around since 2012 and has grown each year, with 2024 and 2025 seeing more than 300 visitors.

I created the back end and front end, and handled two generations of the website between 2013 and 2026, starting on WordPress and later moving to a handcrafted build. I also wrote the texts for the social media campaigns, created photos, digital ads, and short reels promoting the event, and built a press kit where journalists can access videos, press releases, images, and important information.

Lord of Fire - Mobile Game

Lord of Fire is a virtual pet game where you raise your own fire and compete with friends to build the biggest one. Players cut trees in the forest for wood and collect rusty nails to buy upgrades, across three terrains and a full day-night cycle. It has an original soundtrack, international leaderboards, achievements, and social sharing.

I designed the game's mechanics to balance resource management and playful interaction, crafted the three terrains, and developed the unlockable items and upgrades along with the leaderboards and achievements. I configured and optimized the build and released the game on the Android and iOS stores.

PizzaZuHause - Pizza Ordering Application

An application for selling pizzas for a large German company.
