Project Details
Senior Backend Engineer
Project Overview
SHIB The Metaverse is a comprehensive virtual world platform supporting immersive multiplayer experiences and Web3 integration. As Senior Backend Engineer, I developed and maintained backend gameplay systems in Unreal Engine, including custom implementation of the Gameplay Ability System (GAS) for managing character abilities, attributes, and combat mechanics.
I engineered dynamic weapon systems, built scalable session and lobby infrastructure using Epic Online Services (EOS) and PlayFab, integrated voice and chat communication systems, and managed dedicated server orchestration with Docker, Kubernetes, Agones, and AWS for on-demand scaling and high availability.
