Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlos De La Fuente is a Lead Software Engineer in Vancouver with eight-plus years building high-performance backend systems for live multiplayer games and cloud-native services. At Kabam he drove core server design for Marvel Contest of Champions, including the first real-time 1v1 mode, matchmaking, state sync, and tooling to improve content creation, stability and telemetry-driven decisions. He combines a game-development mindset (Unity/C++, gameplay systems) with strong Node.js/Python server experience, AWS serverless architectures, and pragmatic security and performance optimizations. Carlos has a proven track record of reducing processing times and improving retention and monetization through ML-driven features and engineering-led product changes. Unusually for a backend lead, he also blends hands-on client code, admin UI tooling and live-ops troubleshooting, plus formal training in animation and an MBA background that helps him bridge technical and business priorities.
