Precision-engineered software solutions and gaming technology consulting — built by the engineer who signs the work.
Deep-architecture analysis of game engines and performance systems. I identify root causes behind frame drops, latency spikes, and rendering bottlenecks with surgical precision.
Discuss Your Project →Legacy codebases transformed using state-of-the-art LLM-assisted workflows. I deliver measurable improvements in readability, maintainability, and execution performance.
Discuss Your Project →Strategic advisory bridging creative vision and technical execution. Whether you're a studio scaling infrastructure or an indie creator launching, I provide the direction to get there efficiently.
Discuss Your Project →LLM-powered tooling integrated directly into the engineering workflow for 10× throughput on complex analysis tasks.
Reading entire codebases as a single context to surface architectural issues invisible to narrower tooling.
Profiling-led optimisation across CPU, GPU, and memory pipelines in both native and managed runtimes.
Curated subcontractor network for large-scale implementations — boutique agility at enterprise delivery capacity.
I'm Walter Baumann, an independent software engineer and technical consultant with over fifteen years of hands-on experience at the intersection of software engineering and gaming technology.
Unlike traditional consultancies that separate the sales and delivery functions, I operate as a principal engineer who also owns the client relationship. Every engagement is led, designed, and delivered by me — ensuring the quality of thinking matches the quality of execution from first conversation to final deployment.
My practice is structured as a high-agility one-person firm with a carefully curated network of specialist subcontractors for large-scale work. This model gives clients the responsiveness of a freelancer with the capacity and breadth of a small agency — without the overhead of either.
Based in Jūrmala, Latvia, I work with clients across Europe and globally, with a particular focus on gaming studios, software product companies, and technology-forward organisations facing complex engineering challenges.
Seasoned engineer specialising in gaming technology, AI-assisted development, and high-complexity software systems. Available for consulting engagements globally.
Whether you have a defined project brief or a complex problem in search of a solution — reach out. I respond to every serious inquiry personally.
