Introduction:

I m a very experienced software engineer and project manager with a focus on game

programming, and a long list of shipped titles. I m experienced in developing for Windows,

MacOS, iOS and Android, as well as browser-based games. I have both Mac and iOS App Store

developer licenses as well as an Android Market developer license. I own Unity Pro, Unity

iPhone Pro, Unity Android Pro and Unity Asset Server Client, and I can deliver all

projects for any or all of the available platforms (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, Web

browser) and arrange for ports to other platforms where required.
