Portfolio (DevRel)
With over two decades of experience as a software engineer, I transitioned into Developer Relations and Content Creation several years ago. Here are some examples of content I have produced in recent years.
Leafsteroids Game Demo
A flagship demo project used at numerous MongoDB conferences worldwide. Leafsteroids is a 2D arcade-style space shooter built with Unity3D and .NET, featuring a complete game ecosystem:
- • Unity3D game client for cross-platform gameplay (mobile, tablet, desktop)
- • ASP.NET Web API backend for game services
- • Blazor website for tournament management
- • MongoDB Atlas integration with Vector Search for player matching
- • Real-time competitive gameplay and tournament system
AI-Gen-da
A chatbot built for AWS re:Invent 2024 that allows conference participants to interact with AI about the conference agenda. Built using MongoDB, AWS, and BuildShip integration.
Unity Persistence Tutorial Series
A comprehensive guide exploring different persistence options in Unity3D
Part 1: PlayerPrefs
Learn how to use Unity's built-in PlayerPrefs system for basic data persistence. Covers simple key-value storage, handling multiple data types, and JSON serialization for more complex data structures. Perfect for settings and small-scale data storage.
Part 2: File System
Explore direct file system access in Unity using .NET's File class. Learn to save and load game data using plain text files, handle multiple data points, and structure data with JSON. Includes performance and security considerations.
Part 3: Binary Reader/Writer
Master binary data persistence in Unity using .NET's BinaryReader and BinaryWriter. Learn to save data in binary format for better space efficiency, combine it with JSON for structured data, and understand the trade-offs between readability and basic data protection.
Part 4: SQLite
Discover how to integrate SQLite database in Unity for robust data persistence. Learn to create tables, execute SQL queries, and manage structured data relationships. Perfect for games requiring more complex data storage and querying capabilities.
Part 5: Realm SDK
Explore MongoDB's Realm SDK for Unity game development. Learn to implement object-oriented data persistence with minimal setup, automatic schema management, and the foundation for cross-device synchronization capabilities.

Additional Technical Content
During my time as a Developer Advocate at MongoDB (2022-2024), I wrote technical articles and tutorials covering database design, performance optimization, and integration patterns. Some of these articles are still available on my MongoDB Author Profile, representing a portion of my developer advocacy work during that period.
