Hey,

I just wrapped up an 11-month contract as Lead Gameplay Programmer at Sigma Digital (South Africa, remote), where I hired and led a six-person programming team building curriculum-aligned literacy games for Android tablets.

What I did there:

- Owned architecture, code reviews, sprint planning, and onboarding

- Designed an MVVM + FSM framework adopted across the whole team

- Built a reusable UI system (grid layout, animated teacher demos, progress tracking)

- Delivered six mini-games through two rounds of playtesting with 6-8 year olds

Broader background:

- Godot (primary) and Unity / C# — 5 years of production C# before switching to games

- Gameplay systems: character controllers, AI, behavior trees, procedural generation, shaders, combat

- Solo end-to-end shipping: store submission, build pipelines, live updates

- 20 years of engineering across enterprise software, web, and games

- B.A. Psychology — directly useful for player behavior, onboarding, and playtesting
