Senior Software Engineer focused on backend systems, distributed services, and reverse engineering of client-server architectures.
I have strong experience with C#, .NET, TypeScript, and low-level protocol analysis, and I actively contribute to complex open-source projects involving game servers, binary formats, and tooling.
- Backend development with C# / .NET
- Distributed systems and service communication
- Reverse engineering of proprietary protocols and file formats
- Game server emulation and tooling
- Full-stack realtime web apps and Twitch/streaming integrations
- Technical leadership in open-source projects
Lead contributor to a full, from-scratch emulator of a shut-down MMORPG:
- Distributed architecture — separate Login, World (gRPC coordinator), multi-channel Game, and Web servers communicating over gRPC
- Client data pipeline ingesting game files into MySQL via EF Core, powering items, maps, NPCs, and quests
- Live game systems — NPC AI, navmesh pathfinding, Lua-scripted map triggers, combat, and player progression
- Backed by automated tests, BenchmarkDotNet suites, and a session stress-testing tool
Stack: C#, .NET 10, gRPC, Entity Framework Core, MySQL, Docker, DotRecast
Repo: Maple2
A full-stack, realtime stream companion built solo for a MapleStory event:
- Three surfaces from one reactive backend — public bounty board, operator control panel, and a transparent OBS overlay — kept in sync live with no reloads
- An animated, scene-rotating stream widget driven by Twitch chat: emote bursts, votes, and gifted-sub celebrations with priority-based takeovers
- A separate Dockerized Twitch chat bot (Node / tmi.js) relaying operator messages over guarded HTTP
- Realtime-first: Convex reactive queries as the live contract; countdowns tick client-side so a per-second clock never hits the database
Stack: Next.js (App Router), React, Tailwind v4, Convex, Convex Auth (Google), Twitch IRC, Docker
Live: ereklo.tadeucci.dev
A searchable database of MapleStory 2 items and NPCs, built and maintained solo:
- Full-text search over items and NPCs with stats, drop locations, and other in-game metadata
- In-browser 3D model viewer for game assets
- Svelte front-end backed by a separate C# data pipeline (backend repo) that imports game files into MySQL
Stack: SvelteKit, Node.js, MySQL, C# (data import)
