Worked on the decentraland/unity-explorer repository, delivering twelve features and multiple stability improvements over six months. Focused on backend development and cross-platform support, the work included refactoring the stream subsystem for scalable audio/video, implementing CRDT-based message filtering, and modernizing server and build infrastructure. Leveraged C#, Rust, and Unity to enhance real-time communication, concurrency, and memory management, while introducing robust event handling between Unity and Rust via FFI. Addressed error handling and logging by reducing telemetry noise and improving incident triage. The approach emphasized maintainability, clean code practices, and reliable deployment, resulting in a more stable and extensible platform.

May 2026 monthly summary for decentraland/unity-explorer focused on reliability, telemetry quality, and incident triage improvements. Implemented Sentry error flood mitigation by deduplicating repetitive error messages and introducing a once-per-pattern logging flag to ensure a given error pattern is logged only once until the underlying issue is resolved. This change reduces log noise, prevents alert fatigue, and improves the quality of telemetry for faster root-cause analysis.

March 2026 performance summary for decentraland/unity-explorer: Delivered key platform improvements and stability enhancements across Unity-Rust integration, analytics, and build tooling. Introduced a robust Event Handling Bridge for Unity-Rust interop to improve reliability, removed an outdated pumping method to prevent conflicts, and enhanced cross-platform readiness with Windows build support. Strengthened analytics with concurrency-focused refactors to support async imports, mutex-based synchronization to prevent deadlocks, and a switch to a ConcurrentDictionary to improve throughput and data integrity under load. These changes collectively reduce runtime risks, shorten iteration cycles, and broaden deployment options, delivering tangible business value in reliability, performance, and developer experience.

September 2025 — decentraland/unity-explorer: Delivered foundational stream management improvements and consolidated dependency updates to strengthen upgrade paths and stability. No code changes were required for the dependency updates, but the LiveKit integration updates reduce risk and prepare for future feature work. The Stream Subsystem refactor established a StreamKey-based approach with generic stream handling, aligning LogStreams/NullStreams and LiveKit integration, and updating LiveKitPlayer and VoiceChat components to work with the new model. Collectively, these changes enable scalable, maintainable, and future-proof audio/video features in the Unity client.
