Designed and built a suite of game-agnostic backend services to standardize infrastructure, eliminate duplicated effort across titles, and accelerate game team velocity.
- Architected and maintained a microservice platform in TypeScript (NestJS/Node.js), delivering core services including Authentication, Monetization, and Leaderboard, each designed to support multiple games and platforms simultaneously.
- Designed and implemented an orchestration layer to improve inter-service security, reduce system load, and simplify communication patterns across the microservice fleet.
- Built internal AI agents and Claude Code skills to automate recurring engineering toil, including project scaffolding, standards compliance checks, and feature integration workflows, measurably reducing manual overhead for the team.
- Developed onboarding tooling in Rust to streamline new engineer setup and automate recurring local environment tasks.
- Collaborated on the design and maintenance of game-engine-agnostic internal SDKs to standardize platform integration and maintain feature parity across client targets.
