Systems programmer on a procedurally generated, open world game in Unreal. Responsible for implementing our ECS infrastructure, data inheritance for assets, procedural spawning, world streaming optimization, automated testing, maintaining engine modifications, overhauling our engine upgrade process, creating coding standards and practices, and engineering mentorship.

Responsible for core architectural work on the new shared engine. Work includes fundamental functionality and APIs, the job system, scheduling, access rules/calculations, netcode, input, project settings, profiler, internal debugging tools, and more.Acting lead for netcode and networked gameplay implementation. Supporting an unannounced title.

Responsible for engine and gameplay work on Limit Theory.A fast ECS implementation in C with bindings in Lua; mesh-based BSPs for fast collision detection; retained mode UI for development and gameplay; input handling supporting multiple usage styles (event queues, callbacks, and direct queries) as well as dynamic bindings for any device (mouse and keyboard, gamepads, HOTAS, and others); an .obj loader; integrating OpenVDB for in-game CSG support; integrating FMOD and FMOD Studio for audio; Windows platform support; Lua-C interop; and more I'm surely forgetting.

Programmer on Road Redemption, a 3D vehicular combat game available on Steam. Responsible for many systems including input, saving, GUI, story, road generation, overall architecture, and internal tools. Also worked on many gameplay features, cameras and post processing, performance profiling, and consoles.Worked on finished but unreleased mobile title Swap Drop Poker. Wrote majority of the initial code base, including core gameplay, matching algorithm, and server communication.Completed an abundance of contract work on games and interactive applications such as networking motion captured animations in Unreal and Virtual Battlespace 3, oil refinery decoker training and simulation, touchscreen educational materials for the LSU Career Center, and cyber security training.Primary programmer for virtually all internal prototypes from 3D VR combat to punishing 2D arcade games.

After a 2 week crash course in parallel programming, I adapted a simulation of the transport properties of carbon nanotori to support multiprocessor computation. Successfully achieved extremely high scaling for arbitrarily large, distributed memory clusters. The simulation is currently being used for research purposes.

Investigated optimal configuration of a radio frequency driving cavity within a storage ring accelerator. Using existing Fortran simulation, determined the ideal driving frequency to produce a stable, discretized particle beam with the correct radius. Also helped refine steering and focusing dipole and quadrupole electromagnet properties for use in the proposed storage ring. Work was done in collaboration with the Storage Ring pEDM Experiment group at BNL.

Developed a Monte Carlo simulation of electron transport in a silicon charge-coupled device while working alongside the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope group at BNL.
