The following were all developed by myself as I was the founder and did all of the initial development. I hired more developers later on as the project became successful. Unless specifically named, the solution involved was developed by myself from scratch.

A Windows Desktop gaming client that is created with the support of Qt and written in C++. The players are connected to worldwide gaming servers running on Linux servers powered by an automated update service; this also supported phasing servers in and out as updates became live to minimize live service disruption.

The data was stored in a MySQL database, with tables optimized to scale to terabytes of data storage and millions of table rows for the various tables. The website was developed in PHP and had SSO functionality, account management and recovery, game statistics and logs, an admin panel for multiple actions, and a statistics page with a ladder and a shop.

The client itself featured an update system to update itself before connecting.

The original back end that the client connected to was programmed in C++ but due to scalability needs, was wholly reworked in Erlang.

A UE4 game was released on PC/console and had phenomenal sales. As a technical director, I am responsible for corporate matters, leadership, and strategy, as well as handling many HR topics related to the Tech department.

I was also the most senior functional lead on the project when I joined. Optimizing and fixing the game to correct course after it had been leaderless for too long. Most of the technical tasks are resolved around performance optimizations, as it is a simulation game that supports last-generation consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One).

I am also maintaining and building the TeamCity CI/CD pipelines, modernizing the existing pipelines from manual configurations to Infrastructure as Code with Kotlin.

Delivered lightning-fast, broadcast-quality, real-time streaming to massive audiences across the globe, powering the next generation of immersive, interactive, and social experiences with sub-second latency—at scale.

As part of the team, I was responsible for the Unreal Engine integration, creating a high-performing multithreaded plugin that is easy to use. I participated in business development meetings. I also helped sell to and onboard clients for the team and advised them on the design of a scalable architecture.
