Profile

Headline AI work: an AI game-prototyping pipeline for Unity (Cursor + Unity MCP, schema-validated GDD manifests, human play gate) that took a GDD to a playable scaffold in 21 minutes. Technical Game Producer with 15 years of Unity/C# experience shipping games and leading Unity delivery. Hands-on across production leadership, C# systems, and procedural gameplay—from client titles at Tintash to founding OnTriggerJoy and shipping Symphorix to Steam Early Access. Strongest where creative vision must become maintainable, shippable systems under real constraints.

Selected proof

AI game-prototyping pipeline (Unity)

I built an AI game-prototyping system for Unity at ApexLogics. A 26-section GDD becomes a JSON-schema-validated manifest; a staged Cursor + Unity MCP agent scaffolds and greyboxes the game, stops at a human play gate ("is it fun?"), then adds presentation, and deterministic Editor audit tools check the result. 21 minutes from GDD to playable scaffold on one prototype; 20 of 22 acceptance tests passed at handoff; 5 prototypes run through it. Gemini listens to every generated sound for QA. Its rules and guides were adopted into live production games.
