About me

Unity developer with 8 years in mobile games, mostly idle tycoon games since 2023. I'm currently the lead developer on Idle Airport Manager at Archer Game Studio, and I also work on the studio's shared framework, build pipeline and AI workflow. I'm aiming to grow into a Tech Lead role and set the technical direction across projects.
