Lead Programmer specialising in scalable, live-service game systems.
Hi, I'm M_etrics — a Lead Programmer at Valysia, currently heading development on Bloomridge Estate, a horror social roleplay experience on Roblox. I specialise in Roblox-based development using Luau and TypeScript, with a strong focus on gameplay systems, systems architecture, and backend infrastructure.
I work across both game engineering and web platforms, contributing to multiple live projects with an emphasis on reliability, maintainability, and production-ready architecture. With 6+ years of production experience, I design and implement systems intended to operate at scale under live operations.
