The most popular online sports manager on the market. Top Eleven was initially developed in Flash for Facebook but was quickly ported to mobile using Unity. I developed the Shaders used for the 3D portion of the game and optimized draw call count issues. I was also involved in implementing an optimized jersey selection preview.

I supported the team with my in-house debugging and automatic testing tool. This helped them set up the system and implement newly requested features. The tool was used to automatically install the build on multiple test devices and run test cases. This included running the UI of the actual game and checking unintended differences from the previous builds. This helped catch numerous bugs that would otherwise make it to production.

Massive Battle in the Spellsouls Universe was a technology demo that Unity and Nordeus collaborated on to showcase the new DOTS system that was developed by Unity. This was the first time that anyone outside Unity used this system. The project lasted about two months. We built the entire product from scratch. I developed the project from start to end and also fixed issues backstage of the conference. I managed all aspects, including the pathfinding implementation, unit collision, and unit AI.

Megacity was the first large-scale demo developed by Unity to showcase their fresh technologies built with their new data-oriented tech. Unity developed the entire demo in-house, but asked Nordeus to help run it on mobile. I ported the demo to the Lightweight Render Pipeline (now known as the Universal Render Pipeline) and optimized the Shaders for mobile. I also completed all debugging and finding and reporting issues with the new system, mostly with the new Burst compiler.

Spellsouls (later rebranded as Heroic) is a deck-building real-time PvP battle arena game on mobile. The project started in 2014 when I, with a game designer and a group of artists, developed the first prototype in one week.

It included several unit types, approximately 30 spells, and PvP multiplayer options. I delivered top-of-the-line graphics and Shaders for mobile devices at the time. The Shader I made was used for all effects and set up the effect development pipeline. I also created optimizations and scaling strategies as the lowest end target device requirement had to be met. My debugging and testing tools played a large role in helping with iteration time on devices.
