Get iton Steam.

Contract or part-time help to take an indie game from build to a Steam launch: store page, demo, Early Access, ports.

I founded OnTriggerJoy and led Symphorix from its first reveal to Steam Early Access on 1 July 2025; every Steam review since is positive. I set up a second Steam page for Apples Gone Wild, ported There’s Poop In My Soup to mobile at Giant Fox, and this year cut a live Android simulator’s load times from 28s+ to under 7s.

03 / What people say

From people I’ve worked with.

LinkedIn recommendations, quoted word for word.

It's rare that you come across standout talent like Shahryar Saqib. I had the pleasure of working with Shahryar at the Tintash Company, collaborating on several projects.
I was particularly impressed by Shahryar's ability to innovate game design ideas effortlessly and to solve complex programming problems. That skill often takes years to develop, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to him.
As a team member, Shahryar earns my highest recommendation.
