Multiplayer + Networking
Multiplayer game and real-time application development. Client/server architecture, WebRTC, WebSockets, gRPC, Photon, Netcode, enet/raknet, and custom networking solutions.
- ✓ Authoritative server and peer-to-peer real-time networking using custom UDP, WebSockets, WebRTC, and gRPC
- ✓ Client-side prediction, deterministic lockstep simulation, server reconciliation, and snapshot interpolation
- ✓ Lag compensation and rewind hit detection ensuring fair, responsive gameplay under high packet latency
- ✓ Scalable game server orchestration with Docker, Kubernetes, and low-latency global region routing
- ✓ Seamless integration with matchmaking, session state, lobbies, persistent leaderboards, and party chat
Server-Authoritative Real-Time Netcode Architecture
Client-server loop showing local player prediction, delta snapshot transmission, and server reconciliation.
Engineering Workflow & Milestones
Network Topography & Tick Rate Definition
Select network protocol (UDP/WebSocket), simulation tick rate (20-60 Hz), bandwidth budget, and sync topology.
Serialization & Delta Compression
Construct compact binary bit-packing schemas to transmit world state deltas within strict MTU packet budgets.
Prediction & State Reconciliation
Implement client physics prediction, local shadow buffers, server state validation, and smooth error correction.
Load Testing & Regional Deployment
Simulate thousands of concurrent synthetic clients, stress test packet loss and jitter, and deploy multi-region servers.
Performance & Scale Benchmarks
Global multi-region server placement minimizing round-trip times for competitive real-time play.
Strict server-authoritative validation preventing packet tampering and memory speed hacks.
Highly optimized delta compression keeping bandwidth per client under 1 kilobyte per tick.
Engagement & Collaboration Models
Dedicated Build Pods
Autonomous engineering squads with technical direction, senior gameplay or backend engineers, and QA integration to accelerate sprint velocity.
Architecture Audits & Spikes
Targeted 2-week technical discovery sprints to de-risk platform boundaries, benchmark rendering performance, and establish system blueprints.
Full-Cycle Co-Development
End-to-end partnership embedded alongside internal studio leads from initial concept prototyping through commercial storefront release.
