A 3D aerial-combat game with enemy encounters, aircraft progression and weapon upgrades — taken from idea to public release.
- My role: primary responsibility for programming and gameplay; also game design, testing, store icons and descriptions, and release preparation. My teammate focused mainly on models and assets. We developed and published the game together.
- Released: 1,000+ downloads on Google Play, as displayed on 16 October 2026. Known during development as Pig Invasion.
Backend reliability prototype · C# ASP.NET Core EF Core PostgreSQL Kafka Docker
What happens when a database transaction succeeds, but publishing its event fails? Blackbox explores that boundary in an order workflow using a transactional outbox and a Kafka worker.
- Implementation: workflow state and outbox records commit together; a worker claims pending records and publishes them to Kafka.
- Evidence: a public case study with code excerpts, a transaction diagram, failure scenarios and a dated test record. The repository is private.
Technical review · transaction boundary, tests and current limits
- Concurrency: the worker claims PostgreSQL rows with
FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED. - Failure window: the article traces what happens between Kafka acknowledgement and database commit. The current Inbox recognizes the same Kafka offset; logical-event deduplication and exactly-once business effects remain open work.
- Recorded verification: the 14 October 2026 local run reports 71 unit tests, 6 PostgreSQL integration tests and 32 Playwright API scenarios passing. These are functional checks, not load tests or production-availability measurements.
Unity prototype · public walkthrough · C# Jobs Burst Spatial Hashing
Flying-agent behaviour built around flocking, formation strategies, state machines and reusable object pools.
- Engineering focus: a Burst-compiled
IJobParallelForevaluates nearby agents through spatial hashing; the system manages native buffers and schedules jobs. - Source access: the full Unity repository remains private while redistribution rights for bundled third-party plugins are checked.
Technical scope · performance evidence
The public walkthrough discusses the system design. Reproducible frame-time and allocation captures are still needed before quoting performance results. The complete source is not linked while bundled plugin redistribution rights are being reviewed.
