About Me

Bood Atsatarakun

I am a Software Engineer and a passionate full-stack game developer with a strong focus on Unity and Unreal Engine, with over 7 years of experience in the industry.

Throughout my career, I have developed and successfully launched several game titles, ranging from mobile games to PC and console releases, including Tokyo 7th Sisters TH, Home Sweet Home EP1, and Into The Haze.

My expertise lies in crafting engaging gameplay mechanics, designing robust systems, and implementing advanced game networking solutions. I have extensive experience in designing player matchmaking systems, real-time synchronization, and ensuring server scalability using Kubernetes (k8s) and Agones.

In addition, I have a deep understanding of creating secure multiplayer experiences. My solid foundation in web development and comprehensive knowledge of DevOps enable me to optimize deployment pipelines for seamless game launches.

Currently, I am expanding my expertise into Backend and DevOps engineering, with a keen interest in transitioning to a career as a Backend or DevOps engineer.
