Adriano Valle Hernandez

• Architect and ship multiple titles end-to-end as solo and lead engineer, owning engine systems, gameplay programming, build pipelines, and cross-platform publishing across iOS, Android, and PC.
• Design modular, data-driven gameplay systems and branching world architectures emphasizing reusability and extensibility — enabling rapid content authoring by non-engineers across rotating teams.
• Establish coding standards, code review practices, and version control branching strategies; author internal technical documentation that onboards new collaborators independently to the codebase.
• Mentor rotating teams of engineers, designers, and artists, driving technical leadership and cross-functional alignment across gameplay, art, and audio disciplines.
• Shipped Into the Dark (tactical rogue-like) and Hip-Hop On The Rocks (iOS/Android) from gameplay implementation through store certification and live release.

• Core engineering team for TripleDot's Solitaire.com, using AI-first workflows.
• Built Pyramid variant, aligning game design specs to existing engine conventions and extending its capabilities to handle pair matching mechanics.
• Architected a unified validator system that all games use to calculate any move-related logic, unifying a system across multiple variants and input surfaces while making adding future games and their validators dead-simple and 100% testable.
• Implemented features like Daily Challenge and Ad-monetization that required interfacing with Platform and Design to deliver to spec on all fronts.
• Maintained strict protocol around testing, improving, and maintaining Core Web Vitals, delivering all greens from Google's own diagnostics tool.

• Architected and owned core systems end-to-end for Peloton's unreleased next-gen gamified virtual-cycling experience, including multiplayer networking, avatar customization, and dynamic workout music systems.
• Established foundational engine systems supporting multiple parallel prototypes; drove technical decisions on system boundaries, extensibility, and performance that streamlined delivery across engineering, design, and art.
• Authored internal documentation and cross-functional workflows adopted team-wide, mentoring peers on system architecture and rapid prototyping best practices.
• Translated design briefs into playable prototypes under tight timelines; took 1st place in the 2024 company-wide Hackathon as Designer, Producer, and Engineer.

• Shipped Peloton's Lanebreak Tread — its first game for Tread hardware — from prototype through launch, meeting strict hardware safety and platform certification requirements.
• Built multiple game prototypes in a 3-person agile team; one concept was greenlit to full production and shipped to live customers.
• Refactored core systems to support two game titles within a unified codebase, significantly improving maintainability, scalability, and release velocity across both products.
• Delivered accessibility features and gameplay filters on Lanebreak Bike, broadening the experience across diverse player profiles and ability levels.

• Core engineer on AvariaVS, a competitive PvP tactical JRPG — owned level-structure systems, camera control logic, and event-driven gameplay triggers end-to-end.
• Partnered with the lead writer to design and implement narrative gameplay systems, integrating lore, NPC dialogue, and story-driven mechanics into the core gameplay loop.
• Made key technical decisions on event/scripting architecture that empowered non-engineers to author narrative content independently.
