I worked mainly on 1 game:-WeFarm - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigpoint.wefarmWhere I lead and managed an international team of 6 engineers.The game was developed using Unity and was available on Android, iOS and WebGL.My main achievement was setting up a Gitlab CI pipeline, where a simple git-"Tag" would result ina) readily available Android and iOS clients, automatically updating on device using AppCenterb) readily deployed Server environmentc) readily available AssetBundles in our CDNd) with MS Teams integration to notify our QA department about a new buildOther achievements were creating the whole AssetBundle downloading / loading / building system,a content validation system (enforcing / verifying a ruleset for content), setting up flexible branching strategy to allow workflows from 1 week to 4 week sprints, numerous performance improvements in shaders, general rendering and also the Unity-Editor (e.g. improved compile times, preview rendering performance and localization import times).For our GameDesign department I created a full GoogleSheets/MicrosoftExcel balancing data importer, enabling our GD department to use their favorite tools for balancing the data, and an easy way to import this straight into Unity.Interesting to mention is a switch from a pure mobile to a pure browser game in 3 months, and after some time completely back to mobile again, this time in 2 weeks.Apart from managing the one game project, I also supported multiple other projects within BigPoint in their conversion from flash to Unity-WebGL (Farmerama, DarkOrbit, Seafight), including Unity workshops to bring our flash developers up to speed.

I worked mainly on 2 games:-Heroes Realm - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodgamestudios.heroesrealm-Infernals - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodgamestudios.hellraiserWhere I lead and build up a highly international team of 8 engineers.The games were developed using Unity and were serving Android, iOS, Facebook Gameroom and WebGL as platforms. My main achievements were planning the scalable architecture for client and serverside. Creating a solid and easy to follow code structure, where it was easy to introduce new team members and hard to create bugs. Some aspects I took care of include asset bundle handling (building, deploying, distributing) and a full CI pipeline to support development and QA.
