Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPavel Samoylenko is a pragmatic software engineer and product-focused CTO with six years of experience building and scaling Unity-based AR and casual games, now co-founding Playbox in New York. He blends hands-on development (native plugins, custom editor tools, memory and asset optimizations) with technical leadership—streamlining CI/CD, mentoring teams, and driving data-driven roadmaps. His work repeatedly cuts build size and RAM footprint dramatically via Remote Addressables and asset pipelines, enabling broader device support and faster iteration. Pavel has led cross-functional, distributed teams to ship multiplayer systems, matchmaking, and AI-assisted content pipelines, and he’s comfortable bridging mobile native code (Java/Swift/Objective-C) with Unity. Notably, he has applied markerless visual positioning for indoor AR navigation in academic and commercial projects, reflecting a knack for solving tricky spatial problems.
