These processes & procedures are prescribed as the most effective.
With this key area of my portfolio, I bring Best Practices and Optimization techniques.
Best Practices
Adhering to coding standards in game development ensures consistency and readability across the codebase, making it easier for teams to collaborate effectively. This is vital from ideation and prototyping through to game launch and liveops.
🔔Update: Best Practices For Unity 6
The latest release of Unity 6 brings key features to first-party support.
- Templates In Unity 6 – Create/share Scene templates, settings, and projects with your team
- Unit Testing – Polishing the runtime and edit-time suite
- Code Coverage – Monitor your unit test coverage over time
For an in-depth look at the cutting-edge features of Unity, check out my Medium article on Unity Optimization, where I discuss topics such as the new GPU-Resident Drawer, scripting and memory optimizations, and object pooling.

Samuel Asher Rivello, with over 20 years of Game Development expertise, presents Unity Best Practices.
CI/CD Presentation
The culmination of best practices in development is CI/CD.
CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) is a software development practice that automates code integration, testing, and deployment. This approach minimizes errors, improves code quality, and accelerates the delivery.
In this presentation, I setup my Unity Project Template GitHub repo with the popular CI/CD SaaS solution on Buildalon.com.
