Skills
Tools
A brief overview of my proficiency in tools.
Roblox Studio
The primary IDE for developing Roblox experiences.
Rojo (Partial)
Hybrid setup where some files are managed in VS Code via Rojo while the rest live in Studio. I configure the project, sync map, and ignore rules so both sides stay in sync without conflicts.
Rojo (Full)
End-to-end Rojo workflow with the entire project source authored in VS Code. Studio is used purely as a runtime, enabling proper version control, code review, and tooling on the full codebase.
Rojo Migration
I migrate existing Roblox projects from Studio-only workflows into Rojo-managed setups, preserving instances, scripts, and references while introducing source control from day one.
Aftman
A version manager for Roblox tools like Rojo and Selene.
Git
Distributed version control system for tracking changes.
GitHub
Web-based platform for version control and collaboration.
VS Code
A popular and extensible code editor.
Languages
A brief overview of my proficiency in languages.
Lua
The scripting language primarily used within Roblox.
Luau
Roblox's type-checked and performance-enhanced Lua dialect.
JavaScript
A fundamental language for web development and beyond.
Node.js
JavaScript runtime environment for server-side development.
HTML
The standard markup language for creating web pages.
CSS
The stylesheet language for styling web pages.
Python
Versatile language often used for tooling and backend tasks.
Frameworks
A brief overview of my proficiency in frameworks.
Matter
A robust 2D physics engine.
Knit
A framework for structured Roblox game development.
React-Lua
Using React paradigms within Roblox Lua/Luau.
Rodux
A predictable state container for Roblox Lua/Luau.
Paradigms
A brief overview of my proficiency in paradigms.
OOP
Organizing code into objects with properties and methods.
Imperative
Describing computation in terms of statements that change the program state.
Declarative
Expressing the logic of a computation without describing its control flow.
ECS
Entity-Component-System architectural pattern.
DevOps & CI/CD
A brief overview of my proficiency in devops & ci/cd.
Staging Environment
All changes ship to a Staging place first, a mirror of Production used to validate gameplay, data, and economy before any player sees them.
Test on Staging
Tests and smoke checks run on Staging to catch regressions and bugs before they ever reach Production. Failures gate the deploy.
Production Promotion
Once Staging is green, the same build is promoted to Production. Predictable, repeatable releases instead of editing live places.
Why Choose Me?
Staging → Production CI/CD
I run a Staging to Production deployment pipeline for my Roblox games. Every change is validated on a Staging place first, so tests catch regressions there before any player ever touches Production.
Rojo-First Workflow
I'm comfortable with partial Rojo (some files in VS Code, the rest in Studio), full Rojo (entire project authored outside Studio), and migrating existing Studio-only projects onto a Rojo-based workflow.
Proactive Tooling
I create external tools when they unblock the team. For example, a Perlin noise previewer to design procedural terrain without constant Roblox playtesting.
Analytical Design
I use tools like Desmos to precisely design numerical behaviors, such as weighted random number generation with a luck factor, which is critical for Incremental + RNG games.
Expert Debugger
I excel at identifying and resolving logical errors using breakpoints, watch expressions, and structured logging.
Versatile Developer
My experience spans varied Roblox systems and game features, from economy and progression to networking and tooling, showing real adaptability and technical breadth.
Built for Scale
I lean on architectures like ECS and frameworks like Knit to keep large codebases maintainable as the team and feature set grow.
Services
Service Types
Explore the ways we can collaborate.
Short Term
Best for small, clearly scoped jobs. You pay once the task is finished and you're happy with it.
- Paid per task once it's done.
Long Term
For bigger projects with several tasks. Usually starts with a small upfront payment, then you pay as each task gets completed.
- Small upfront payment (case by case).
- Paid per task as each one wraps up.
Not accepting new commissions of this type at the moment.
Long Term
For joining a team and sticking around. Paid on a regular schedule we agree on.
- Regular payments (weekly or monthly, your call).
- Small upfront payment (case by case).
Not accepting new commissions of this type at the moment.
Payment Methods
Convenient ways to compensate for services.
Wise
My preferred way to get paid. Low fees and a fair exchange rate, so the price you see is the price you pay.
- No extra fees on top.
- Minimum payment: 100 USD
PayPal
Works fine, but PayPal takes a cut of every payment. To make up for that, the invoice includes a small extra charge.
- Invoice has a small add-on to cover PayPal's cut.
- Minimum payment: 100 USD
