As a Game Developer Supporter at
From February - July 2025, I worked as a Game Developer Supporter at Poki.com, the worldwide biggest platform on web for mobile/ web-based games. I wrote QA reports for games, offered suggestions for improvements to make the games more engaging and was in close communication with the developers on the platform. Throughout my time, I supported the development of over 50 games, including the following titles:
Subway Surfers
Hill Climb Racing
Vortellas´s Dress Up
Temple Run
Level Devil
Drive Mad
The following feedback was left for me after my time at Poki:
“Paul has been a hardworking, knowledgeable but above all bright and enthusiastic part of the team at Poki. His eye for games in general has helped multiple game developer teams improve their experience and has helped them create better games. In the process, Paul has developed his knowledge on Web games and has helped us develop our knowledge base by helping out with new research projects.”
