Where I can help

An extra pair of hands.
A lot of experience.

For studios, agencies, and teams with something they need to get built.

01

Build the next piece.

A training module, a new interaction, or a feature your team needs. I can pick up a defined piece of your Unity project and take it through to a working build.

02

Get past a blocker.

A feature that isn’t behaving, performance that needs attention, or a demo deadline getting close. I’ll dig in and help you move forward.

03

Make the idea playable.

Have an idea you need to put in someone’s hands? Let’s build a focused prototype you can test, demonstrate, and develop further.

I’m a VR specialist, but I also build for mobile, desktop, and the browser.

Unity optimization · Meta Quest

Hardcore Unity optimization is key for mobile/standalone VR development.

Performance is especially important on standalone headsets like Meta Quest. Your app has to work within the device’s limits while keeping the experience smooth and responsive.

I specialize in optimizing Unity projects. I track down performance bottlenecks and improve rendering, code, and memory use to help your project run better on the devices it’s built for. I know every trick in the book to make Unity project achieve their frame rate goal.

Let’s talk about your project’s performance

MEET YOUR NEW DEV

Hey, I’m Matt.

I’ve spent over 10 years building things in Unity, from mobile games to VR training. I like getting into a project, figuring out the tricky parts, and making it work.

When we work together, you work directly with me. I’m the person on the call, writing the code, and walking you through the build.

Tell me what you’re making and where you need a hand. Let’s talk about how I can help.

    I’ll get it done.

    I’ll complete the work, keep you updated, and walk you through the finished build.

Can you work in our existing project?

Yes. I can work with your existing codebase and team. We’ll look at the project and how you work before deciding on the scope.

What if I’m not sure how to scope it?

That’s a good reason to talk. Bring the goal, the current state of the project, and any deadline. We can work out a sensible first step together.

How soon can we start?

Send me a little about the project and your timing. I’ll let you know my availability and whether I’m a good fit.
