Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarius Petcu is a versatile senior programmer with 16 years of experience building games, web and mobile apps, currently contributing to Ubisoft on Tom Clancy’s Division 2. He co-founded an indie studio where he led gameplay and multiplayer systems in Unreal and Defold, authored a C++ Lua transpiler for a custom narrative DSL, and shipped full-stack tooling from Node backends to React/Redux editors. A prolific open-source contributor, Marius has improved popular projects like Material-UI and Sortable.js and helped harden the Defold engine and react-native-mapbox-gl iOS bindings. Equally at home in C++, Lua and JavaScript, he pairs low-level engine work with polished front-end UX and CI/CD operations. Based in Bucharest, he balances technical rigor with creative hacking—building IoT cooking devices, LARP props with microcontrollers, and composing music on a Linux-hacked Nintendo Switch.
