The iOS Developer working with the Digital Services team implementing solutions to better the accessibility of online services through means that are more secure, private and convenient.

Joined Firebrand Games, Florida, as a remote contract employee once DC Studios, Montreal closed down. Over my 13 years as a remote contractor with Firebrand, I performed multiple duties within the Mobile Game Development field. Namely: - Primary lead various mobile game projects for iOS and Android. - Constantly maintaining and upgrading the custom game engine (Octane) used for the iOS and Android platforms. The engine consisted primarily of a large C++ code base with various Java (Android) and Objective-C (iOS) shims to integrate with the native platform Frameworks. - Designed, planned and implemented across all areas of game development, from low level Engine code (file and network integrations, 3D shaders and api, physics engines, etc) to higher level game code frameworks. Also cross-platform UI design, input (touch and gamepads) and DLC. - Lead on most server backend projects. Firebase was used as the primarily NoSQL storage, Identity Management and Remote Configurations.

As a game programmer, implemented and released various Nintendo DS games. In addition, worked on several projects that included: - A toolchain pipeline for J2ME devices and an API that abstracted out the
differences that exists between devices and that automatically regenerated texture, audio and text resources based on the device's capabilities. Used in five commercial projects. - Developing a 3D engine for J2ME devices using JSR184 - Three additional Alias missions (DC Studios purchased Dream Mechanics

- Designed and implemented a massively multiuser virtual environment which included a client, server and various tools. The client was implemented in a combination of Java and C, with bindings I developed to OpenGL, DX7 and DX8. Supported clients existed for Win32, MacOS X and Linux.- Redesigned components of the code to allow for a 3D single user ‘adware’ product that was successfully marketed to ABC and used as part of their ‘Alias’ TV show 
marketing campaign. Over 300 000 copies were downloaded with a total of seven individual mission created for the project ( CD available upon request ). - Managed and mentored a team of five programmers split into two teams. One team continuously implemented new core features in addition to code maintenance, while the other team worked on project specific code.

- Redesigned and implemented a Central Document Repository that is used among all OpCom offices ( currently six separate branches throughout North-America ). This consisted of a client/server application using sockets as the communication path. - Designed an application that gives a graphical view into a Telecommunications Company’s Circuit Inventory database. This consists of two parts, a server and a client, both written in pure Java using RMI to communicate and JDBC to access the database. I was responsible for the specifications, design and implementation of this project, as well as managing two other employees who were assisting in the implementation. - Design and Implementation of Service Desks using Remedy as a base. Involved C programming using the Remedy API as well as SQL scripts to workaround limitations in Remedy. Clients include Bell Global Solutions, Teleglobe and Newbridge Networks. - Designed and developed a Java implementation of the Remedy client tool. This involved coding a multi-threaded server in C that the Java client communicated with through sockets. Project lasted approximately 3 months.

- Assisted in the design of an on going project to develop an intelligent agent based telecommunication and network management system. Main responsibility was the design and implementation of the GUI using MSVC++ and MFC. - Project heavily relied upon Object Oriented Design and Analysis.
