About Me
I am a Go backend developer and game designer from Romania looking for full-time remote work. For the past few years, I have been building and operating Hero Dynasty, a live private MMORPG with around 100 active daily players.
As the sole developer, I have managed every aspect of the project, including gameplay systems, backend services, databases, launchers, websites, event management, balance updates, bug fixes, deployments, and live operations. Running a live online game has taught me how to prioritize tasks, adapt quickly, work under pressure, and take full ownership of a project.
Technical Skills
My primary language is Go, which I used to build the entire multiplayer backend from the ground up. My technical expertise includes:
- Backend Architecture: High-performance multiplayer server architecture, high-concurrency systems, and custom TCP networking with binary packet protocols.
- Game Systems: Combat, PvP, guild/faction wars, instanced dungeons with scalable encounters, character progression, inventory, and persistence.
- Economy & Progression: Crafting systems (production, fusion, smelting), pets/companions, in-game economy, shops, trading, rankings, leaderboards, and seasonal events.
- Database & Optimization: PostgreSQL and MySQL database design, migrations, performance profiling, optimization, and production debugging.
- Additional Tools: Server-side anti-cheat systems, reverse engineering/patching of legacy x86 game clients, C#/WPF launchers, automation tools, live dashboards, Discord bots, and PHP/MySQL web services.
Game Design
I am responsible for the end-to-end design of the game. I iterate on systems based on live player feedback, including:
- Main story, campaign progression, and quest lines.
- Dungeon mechanics, boss encounters, and daily/weekly content.
- Character classes, skill balancing, and ability design.
- Itemization, equipment progression, loot tables, and reward structures.
- In-game economy management and gold sinks.
- Seasonal events, limited-time content, and achievement systems.
- Endgame progression and long-term player retention strategies.
What I Can Bring to Your Team
I enjoy taking ideas from concept to production—designing the player experience, implementing the backend, balancing gameplay, and continuously improving content based on real-world usage.
Whether you need someone to build a multiplayer backend, optimize an existing Go service, solve difficult production issues, design game systems, or take ownership of a project, I would love to hear from you.
