Twinelike

GreenPark Sports

A mobile fan-engagement platform built around live sports, with NBA, LaLiga, MLS, and LCS partnerships. I led and contributed to an AI framework and its agents, multiplayer features on the Photon Quantum engine, the remote asset delivery system, and a reactive UI layer built on UniRx. I also did rapid prototyping, standing up new mini-games to find out whether they were fun.
