I'm a Game Designer, specialized in game AI, with large development background and deep interest in general AI and ML technics. Here is a brief about me:
- Strong experience in full development cycle from feature request to integration and deployment (Technical Lead Role for mobile Blackberry SDK)
- Strong experience in agile methodologies (Took role of a Scrum Master for three teams while performing main duties as a Game Designer at ShadowMasters Games)
- Collaboration with big and decentralized teams
- Strong knowledge of game development processes and collaboration with various teams (Development, QA, Design, Art)
- Strong prototyping skills using Lua, Unity or any other familiar tool
- Complete ownership over dedicated game features:
- Idea inception and in-depth research
- Documentation support through feature lifecycle
- Feature/Concept presentation to the team
- Code reviewes upon implementation and after integration
- Final tuning and tweaking inside game editor
- Iterative approach based on feedback and gathered analytics
I'm an avid gamer but genres that are of my main interest include RTS, MOBA, FPS, TPS and Action Adventure Games. I love working on hardcore games with strong emphasis on mechanics.
I'm also able to provide consultation on AI in your game on a freelance basis. Available for public speaking on thematic conferences.
