Unreal & Multiplayer
Replication and network topology, dedicated server builds, gameplay systems, and the profiling work that tells you which of them is actually costing you money.

Consulting
I'm a software engineer and technical project manager specializing in Unreal Engine, multiplayer development, and cloud infrastructure. I bring over fifteen years of professional experience building enterprise systems and managing operational teams.
Engagements run from a few days of profiling to a fully scoped prototype. Whatever the size, the work is meant to outlive the invoice: code your team can compile, architecture they can explain to someone else, and documentation that still makes sense after I've gone.
Cloud & Backend
Matchmaking, player data, live-service backends, build and deployment pipelines. Architecture sized for the launch you're planning and the bill that arrives after it.
Build & Release Automation
Dedicated server builds, packaging, deploy pipelines, and the one-off scripts that have become load-bearing. Automated enough that a release doesn't need a calendar invite.
Rates
Plainly stated, in Canadian dollars, with no retainer and nothing bundled in that you didn't ask for.
| Engagement | Rate | Terms |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly | $220 CADper hour | Five-hour minimum. Best for reviews, profiling, debugging, and advisory work. |
| Prototype | $10,000+ CADdepending on scope | Fixed price, quoted after a scoping conversation. Best for proving a system before you commit a team to it. |
What the work includes
Every engagement, at either rate, delivers all of the following.
- Functional code Built, run, and measured. Not a slide deck describing what could be built.
- Documentation Written for the engineer who inherits it, covering how it works and why it works that way.
- Backend architecture Services, data flow, and failure modes mapped out before anything is committed to.
- Data compliance What you collect, where it lives, how long you keep it, and what has to happen when someone asks for it back.
- Change governance Scope changes priced and agreed before the work starts, so the estimate stays an estimate.
- Best practices Source control hygiene, review, and CI your team keeps using after the engagement ends.
