3D Pipelines & AI Tooling for Game Development

Two weeks, solo, one Roblox game shipped on a pipeline I built from scratch. At Moonsama I cut character production from 2 weeks to 5 days. That’s the velocity.

I build production pipelines for 3D games in Unreal, Unity, and Roblox, plus the AI tooling that makes them faster. 12 years professional, self-taught. Open to full-time fully remote roles. Asia-Pacific, GMT+8.

“Five days of work alone, 12–15 hours a day. I created technical pipelines that let me run the full-stack game development process on my own.”
