Who I am

I've spent 15+ years building software, the last five focused on mobile games played by millions at Zynga (a Take-Two company).

My path is a bit unusual: I started in electrical engineering, did my master's research on controlling virtual characters with brain-computer interfaces, built Mixed Reality systems for command & control at HAVELSAN, and led a software team delivering 3D GIS and VR solutions for Istanbul's urban planning.

That mix shaped how I work: I care about architecture that scales, teams that ship fast without breaking things, and using new technology where it actually creates an advantage. Today that increasingly means AI-assisted development and agentic workflows, which I use daily across my own projects.

What I focus on:

Scalable Unity/C# architecture for live mobile games
Performance, tooling, and developer productivity
Building and mentoring engineering teams
Integrating LLMs and agentic systems into game development pipelines

Always happy to connect with people building great games.
