Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnton Chekulaev is a versatile game developer with 11 years of professional experience, specializing in Java-based Android and cross-platform 2D game development with deep expertise in libGDX and Spine animation. He blends hands-on engineering (Java/Kotlin, C#/Unity, C/C++ with NDK, TypeScript) with UI/UX, vector and pixel art, and has shipped commercial mobile titles and in-house engines, tools and libraries such as GDX VFX and Texture Packer. Anton has contributed to the core LibGDX framework (fixing OpenGL context issues and UI behavior) and worked on privacy-focused mobile software like the Session Android messenger, demonstrating both framework-level and product-focused impact. He’s equally comfortable building low-level rendering/NDK integrations and front-end React/TypeScript ports, having even ported simulations from libGDX to the web. Based in Budva, Montenegro, Anton draws inspiration from indie game development and maintains a broad curiosity across the full production cycle, combining creative toolmaking with pragmatic delivery.
