Senior Unity Developer · Software Architect

I'm a Unity developer from Yekaterinburg, working commercially since 2022. What I do is system design: I split large projects into independent modules, define the data model and write the tools and tests a whole team builds on. I work with AI agents deliberately: in my current project Claude, Codex and Perplexity work in parallel, and in my own SDK Claude wrote about 2000 tests. My own product is Bullet Hero, a rhythm game built as an engine for its genre

    My own product: a rhythm bullet hell where players make and play levels, built as an engine for the genre. The DOTS core draws 5k objects on phones and 100k at 60 fps on PC. The level format lives in an open C# SDK with 2 Roslyn source generators, and its binary codec loads a 19k-object level in 203 ms instead of 10 s. 5 platforms and 6 stores from one build list
