Jens R.
Last position:
Platform Architect & Senior Developer at Direct client, industrial measurement technology, medium-sized company
- Technical leadership across hardware, firmware, and software teams; scope: hardware/firmware team (4 people) and leadership group (5 people)
- Consolidated and documented a product family that had grown over more than 15 years and aligned it with CRA compliance — from the bare-metal I/O module to the cloud interface.
- Provided the most important customer product with the essential requirements and architecture documentation within two months — for a firmware landscape that had grown over more than 15 years. It now supports the customer’s modernization strategy.
- Established a monthly reporting line to the supervisory board and executive board within three months: nine meetings since 12/2025. The report itself is versioned and built from the CI pipeline; it is based on automatically collected activity and release data instead of assessments.
- Built a container-based CI/CD infrastructure from scratch: cross-compilation, host tests, and documentation builds in one continuous pipeline.
- Introduced declarative QA gates for DevOps and development artifacts — from the start using lefthook instead of pre-commit, executed in a dedicated container image.
Technologies used: arc42, req42, tpo42, docToolchain, PlantUML, ArchiMate, C4 model, ADR, C, C++ (GTest), CMake, Bare Metal (ARM Cortex-M3/M7), OCI containers, Jenkins, lefthook, Prometheus, Grafana, SBOM, CRA, OPC, SCADA, PLC integration, IPv6 migration, Zero Trust, Sociocracy 3.0, Cynefin

Last position:
Software Engineer & Cloud AI Developer at TANGILITY GmbH

- Developed a custom Hybrid A* based algorithm in C# to simulate hospital scenarios and detect early-stage design conflicts from collision/spatial data and generate structured reports.
- Solved and automated the time-consuming problem of converting CAD files to usable Unity environments with a custom-engineered and real-time pipeline using a ZeroMQ-based communication layer to distribute workloads across multiple processes and achieve real-time performance.
- Built a Dockerized FastAPI pipeline for CAD-to-Unity automation, combining vision-based object matching, image embeddings, and precomputed metadata to automatically map CAD objects to Unity behavior scripts, assign properties, and reduce repeated AI inference calls.
- Created documentation and examples to help technical users understand, configure, and extend the AI automation pipeline.

About the technology
Unity at a glance
Unity is a real-time development platform for creating interactive 2D and 3D experiences. Teams use it for games, simulations, training environments, digital twins, product visualisations and augmented or virtual reality applications. Projects can target mobile, desktop, consoles, browsers and embedded devices from one production environment.
Core capabilities
Unity specialists work across scene design, gameplay systems, user interfaces, animation, physics, lighting and performance. C# is the main scripting language, while the editor supports reusable prefabs, visual tools and asset workflows. Strong professionals also understand platform constraints, build pipelines and testing for the devices that matter to the project.
Ecosystem and tooling
The Unity ecosystem includes the Asset Store, Package Manager, Unity Input System, Addressables and rendering pipelines such as URP and HDRP. Teams may also use Timeline, Cinemachine, Shader Graph, Animator, NavMesh and multiplayer services. Integration work often connects Unity with APIs, cloud services, analytics, authentication, motion tracking or external content systems.
Where companies use it
- Mobile and desktop games with live content and online features
- AR product demonstrations, retail experiences and marketing installations
- VR training, safety simulations and industrial visualisation
- Digital twins, configurators and interactive product presentations
- Real-time applications for education, healthcare and mobility
Unity is especially useful when a project needs real-time interaction, visual fidelity and delivery across several device types. Its broad ecosystem can reduce custom tooling, but production quality still depends on sound technical decisions.
When to hire specialists
Companies bring in freelance Unity expertise when a prototype must become a stable product, an existing project needs performance work or a team lacks experience with a target platform. External support is also valuable for AR or VR integrations, multiplayer features, rendering upgrades and complex build automation. In Germany, remote collaboration is common, while on-site workshops can help with physical installations, hardware testing and production handovers.
What strong professionals deliver
A strong Unity professional turns a brief into a maintainable interactive system. They structure scenes and assets carefully, profile performance on real target devices and keep platform-specific behaviour under control. They communicate clearly with artists, designers and product teams, document technical choices and test edge cases before release. For German projects, language expectations should be agreed early, especially when the work involves local stakeholders, training content or on-site coordination.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Unity? These answers cover the essentials.
Unity is used for simulations, digital twins, product configurators, training tools and interactive visualisations. It also supports AR and VR experiences for industries such as manufacturing, education, healthcare and retail.
Unity is often chosen for its broad device support, accessible C# workflow and large asset ecosystem. Unreal Engine may be preferred when a project prioritises highly detailed visuals or a particular native production pipeline, so the right choice depends on the target devices, team skills and visual requirements.
A strong Unity specialist may also bring C#, 3D mathematics, shader work, animation, UX design or network programming. Experience with source control, automated builds, cloud services and hardware integration can be just as important as editor knowledge.
The required level depends on the deliverable rather than a fixed number of years. A prototype may need solid scene, scripting and build skills, while a commercial release or industrial simulation calls for proven performance profiling, testing, platform deployment and production support.
Unity projects are often suitable for remote collaboration because assets, code and builds can be shared through established development workflows. On-site work may still help with VR hardware, installations, motion capture or testing connected physical equipment.
Look for work that resembles the intended platform, interaction model and visual complexity. Ask how the professional handled performance, memory, device compatibility, build automation and post-release changes rather than judging a project only by its screenshots.
Unity supports AR and VR through device-specific packages, input systems and integrations with common headsets and tracking technologies. A suitable specialist should understand comfort, interaction design, frame-rate stability, spatial setup and testing on the actual target hardware.
A Unity freelancer benefits from a clear target platform, visual references, technical constraints and acceptance criteria. German clients should also clarify communication language, data or security requirements, access to hardware and whether workshops or installation support must take place on site.
