Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred
Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)
Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Clojure, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB
Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/<hnusername>.)
I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.
Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.
Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty. :v
I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!
Remote: Yes (preferred) or Hybrid (from Paris)
Willing to relocate: No

For the past five years, I co-founded and ran an indie game studio. As gamedev CTO, I led a small team of devs, designers, and artists to ship three publisher-funded commercial games, including a simultaneous PC and multi-console (PS, Xbox, Switch) release. Most recently, I've explored integrating LLMs into my workflow, allowing me to single-handedly build two complex 50,000+ LOC client-server multiplayer prototypes in just six months.
I am very extroverted person with experience of managing a company P&L, crafting pitch decks, or driving bizdev. I know how to hire, lead, and execute fast.
I am looking for both full-time roles or contract work, in or out of gamedev. I treat my work as my life, and will dedicate 200% of my energy to it. So if you looking for contractor, co-founder or just advice on indie gamedev feel free to reach me!

I'm an engineer and data professional interested in team-building, consulting and architecting data pipelines. At Edmunds.com, I worked on a fairly successful ad-tech product and my team bootstrapped a data pipeline using Spark, Databricks, and microservices built with Java, Python, and Scala.
At ATTN:, I re-built an ETL Kubernetes stack, including data loaders and extractors that handle >10,000 API payload extractions daily. I created SOPs for managing data interoperability with Facebook Marketing, Facebook Graph, Instagram Graph, Google DFP, Salesforce, etc.
More recently, I was the CTO and co-founder of a crypto gaming startup. We raised over $6M and I was in charge of building out a team of over a dozen remote engineers and designers, with a breadth of experience ranging from Citibank, to Goldman Sachs, to Microsoft. I moved on, but retain significant equity and a board seat.
I am also a minority owner of a coffee shop in northern Spain. That I'm a top-tier developer goes without saying. I'm interested in flexing my consulting muscle and can help with best practices, architecture, and hiring.
Would love to connect even if it's just for networking!

Generalist programmer and technical lead, 20+ years across games and software in C#/.NET, Unity, and C++. I've worn a lot of hats — lead, development manager, senior — across both systems and gameplay. Currently a systems engineer on a top-down action-RPG with solo and co-op PvE/PvPvE. Previously led the gameplay programming team on the MMORPG Ember Sword (C++, ECS/EnTT), built deterministic network rollback and other core systems at BetaDwarf (Unity DOTS/ECS), and did UI programming on Gwent at CD PROJEKT RED. I've also done UI work with MVVM (NoesisGUI and WPF-style stacks).
I'm comfortable owning systems end to end — netcode, rollback & lag compensation, creature AI, crafting/looting, movement/interaction, procedural generation, profiling/perf, and MVVM-based UI — and equally at home leading: Agile/Scrum, code review, technical hiring, and release management. On the side I build a variety of projects using Claude Code targeting PC and Steam Deck: a space game inspired by EVE Online, a co-op dungeon heist game, team-management tools, among others.
I'm open to having a conversation about senior, staff, principal or lead roles, desktop/console-first, in Unity + C# or C++ with a custom engine. Open to a C#/custom-engine setup as well.
