Summary
David Vera is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in C#, .NET, Unity3D, Unreal Engine 4, and C/C++, currently based in San Diego and contributing to VR and AAA game projects. He combines hands-on gameplay and systems programming at Skydance Interactive with entrepreneurial grit as the founder of indie studio Cave Era, where he targets major and mobile platforms. His background includes building cross-platform VR titles and core systems at Knocktwice Games and gameplay engineering at Rockstar and Bartlet Jones, demonstrating strong multi-platform optimization and rapid prototyping skills. David has a history of designing tooling, build pipelines, and team workflows to keep complex projects maintainable and performant under strict constraints. Comfortable across engine boundaries and low-level code, he brings both technical breadth—from graphics and animation to networking—and product-minded design sensibilities. An early career foundation in government and enterprise systems rounds out a pragmatic approach to engineering that values reliability as much as creativity.
