Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Nondahl is a Co-Founder and veteran Unity engineer with 12 years of hands‑on experience and 15 years leading mobile F2P game development, having shipped 12 iOS/Android titles that collectively exceeded 10M DAU. He blends product-first design sensibilities with deep client-side engineering—driving measurable metrics like an +8pp D1 retention pivot in 2024 and a rapid 25→33% D1 lift on a core-loop redesign. Eric has scaled and mentored teams (hiring and growing an 8‑dev client squad), led CI/CD migrations to GitHub Actions, and prototyped AI-native mobile SaaS and AI-driven tooling for games and commerce. Comfortable across Unity, React/React Native, Firebase, and native iOS, he moves quickly from prototype to production and often ships fully functioning startups in months. Based in Verona, WI, he pairs studio-scale delivery experience with a creative media-production background that informs polished UX and rapid iteration.
