freebuild

freebuild is a multiplayer brick-building game about creating structures, worlds, vehicles, physics contraptions, and interactive experiences with other players. The public site describes the game around three core ideas: build, play, and mod.

I started working on the project in 2023 and focused on the server-side foundation: backend application code, persistent data modeling, and authentication flows. That work helped support account creation, login, user data, and the infrastructure needed for a community-driven game to operate beyond the client itself.

The game later went on Steam in 2026. My contribution sat behind the scenes, but it was the kind of backend work that matters for a multiplayer game: reliable identity, durable data, and systems that let the rest of the experience keep moving.

Work

• Backend application development
• Database design and implementation
• Authentication and account systems
• Support for player-facing web and game infrastructure

Context

freebuild is built around player creativity: building, playing, modding, scripting, and sharing creations with a community. The backend had to support that kind of product without getting in the way of the game itself.
