Lead game developer · Romania
Lead developer at XOX Studio, making live Roblox games since 2021.
On the studio's first games I was usually the only programmer. Now I coordinate a team of about 15 and review their code, and I still write a lot of it myself: gameplay, UI, player data, and exploit fixes on live servers. At their peak, the studio's games had about 25,000 players online at once.
Looking for gameplay, systems or tech lead roles. Based in Romania, working remotely, open to relocating.
About
I learned development by fixing things I didn’t understand yet. At fourteen, that meant broken MTA roleplay servers, unfamiliar Lua, and a lot of reading other people’s code until the errors made sense.
I still work that way. At XOX I went from building the first games mostly on my own to coordinating a team and keeping several live games healthy. Some weeks that’s gameplay code, some weeks it’s UI or models, and some weeks it’s chasing down an exploit that showed up overnight.
Long term, I want to make original, story-driven games. The engine and hardware projects further down are how I keep learning outside of Roblox.

Most of these started because I wanted to know how something worked.
Apple Silicon Macs can’t run old 32-bit Intel apps at all. M32 loads the original binaries and translates their system and graphics calls into native ones so they can run again.
macOS / Apple Silicon / binary translationSmall gameplay prototypes and GLSL lighting shaders, mostly to learn how other engines do things Roblox handles for you.
More about theseMTA and SA-MP servers were where I actually learned to program: broken roleplay scripts, Lua I didn’t understand yet, memory hooks, and fixes I found by reading until the code made sense.
C++ / LuaDisplay drivers and small telemetry gadgets in C++. With a few hundred KB of RAM, you notice every bit of overhead.
C++ / SPI / I²CRunning Debian on old Android tablets, with touch input, custom configs and a small system monitor I wrote for them.
Linux / ARMSmall scripts with Ollama and MCP that help with my own development work and run on my machine.

I’m looking for a full-time gameplay, systems or tech lead role, and I also take contract work on multiplayer games. Email is the quickest way to reach me.
