I build games.I teach developers.I design systems.

Nickwatch was one of my biggest learning experiences as a developer. I started as a junior developer and grew into a team lead, eventually taking ownership of a full application with multiple interactive experiences.

The project included games and activities designed specifically for a kids’ smartwatch, using sensors, external tools, hardware constraints, and playful interaction design.

It taught me much more than Unity alone: product thinking, UX constraints, teamwork, leadership, debugging under real limitations, and how to build complete experiences for an unusual platform.

At Zbenko Studio, I work across the technical side of our educational game products. This includes Unity development, adding stages, fixing bugs, building features, updating UI, improving performance, researching tools, and supporting production.

I also work with backend systems written in PHP and SQL, building APIs and database queries that support game logic, localization, and data-driven experiences.

A major part of my work includes in-house systems such as Region-Locale support, database-driven multiplayer experiences, and API-based level logic.

I also proposed and developed Atlas-Kazai, an interactive presentation and classroom-control product where the teacher controls the experience through one Unity app, while the student-side Ouro app transforms into a live game-like learning experience inspired by classroom quiz systems.

I’ve been teaching game development at Mentor for 4+ years, building and delivering lessons, presentations, exercises, and hands-on project guidance.

I teach Unity and C# from the foundations through more advanced topics like gameplay systems, ScriptableObjects, architecture, and design patterns.

My focus is helping students understand how systems actually work, not just which buttons to press. Over time, I’ve guided students from their first scripts to complete playable projects, with some continuing into the industry.
