This is me
My name is Thomas Viktil, and I'm an independent game developer with 18 years of professional experience. I specialize in performance optimization and system architecture.
Clients typically hire me to lead the programming of their games. I'm often in charge of establishing the system architecture which other programmers build upon. In close cooperation with the game designers, I build systems that are scalable and flexible enough for them to do their job, while maximizing performance. I also build tools that aid others in optimizing and simplifying their work.
I have worked on 54 games of which 22 have been made for clients. The other 32 games were all made in my spare time. Most of them are cancelled, some are still in progress, and one of them has been released. Check out Deflector on Itch.
