• Large-scale projects: Proven experience contributing to substantial game projects and managing complex design systems.
• Product thinking: Strong understanding of not only how a feature works, but also why it matters to players and the overall product.
• Unity knowledge: Basic proficiency with Unity, including configuration and building prototypes.
