About me
I am a seasoned Gameplay Engineer with 10 years of professional experience, including 6 years specializing in the crypto P2E field. My expertise spans a variety of genres, including Metaverse, RPG, Strategy, Sports, and Racing. Over my career, I have contributed to the development and launch of five games on consoles and Steam, one of which generated $5 million in monthly revenue. In the crypto metaverse space, I have played a key role in developing critical features such as Bank-Financial Systems, Auction Land, and Marketplaces across three major projects. Notably, in District53, I optimized crypto payment speeds from 3 seconds to 0.001 seconds, and in ICICB, I tackled in-game inflation by creating a bank-financial system integrated with crypto token payments, safeguarding $2 million from potential losses.
