Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOlex Lozitskiy is an independent game developer and former senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance game systems for AAA titles and cloud-scale platforms. He moved from roles at Amazon Game Studios and Microsoft into leading his solo studio, Selfish Games, where he is developing Selfish Heroes with a custom Vulkan renderer and ray tracing. His background includes deep expertise in game networking, replication, delta compression, and large engine architectures (Open 3D Engine, New World, Civilization VI). Olex combines low-level C++ systems craft with tooling and pipeline work—creating custom animation, UI systems, and a GLTF-based art pipeline for streamlined asset workflows. Based in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, he brings an engineer’s discipline to indie development, blending production-ready multiplayer knowledge with solo creative ownership. An understated strength is his track record of jumping into large codebases and quickly becoming productive, a skill he now applies to building a polished single-developer title from the ground up.
