C#, Java/Groovy, Unity, React, TypescriptLed development and architectural improvements on various systems, including debug and test tooling. Overhauled analytics system with a generative solution that kept a single source of truth to create documentation, code, and for auditing. Created a framework for migrating large scale features to support swapping over analytics systems, so that we could build strong confidence before migrating in production. Leveraged AI tools such as ChatGPT for generating unit test coverage, schema json data, as well as code snippets to insert for the migration, speeding up the process considerably. Worked with various teams across many timezones to integrate Scopely solutions into Tripeaks Solitaire, an acquired product with it's own legacy systems/infra.- Integrated proprietary authentication services for clients in both Unity and Web, as well as various backend services. - Led efforts for migrating to Scopely's push notification systems, and integrating other central platform features for more effective user targeting.- Integrated consent management solutions for Tripeaks.- Led migration effort to Scopely's new analytics system on Tripeaks, developing pipeline and confidence building processes to ensure no loss of data while pushing an aggressive schedule.Often consulted on various efforts across Tripeaks as well as other products for integration of central services.

(PHP, Java, JS)Started as a senior engineer on the Checkout team. Eventually lead the team, working with stakeholders and collaborating with other teams. In 2019, started a team to own replatforming the Cart and Checkout space. Originally starting as just myself and some stakeholders, built and then led a team with a wide range of experience (Engineer II to Staff Engineer) in migrating lower funnel systems into decoupled services. Created a fun, psychologically safe environment for team to grow and evolve, while coordinating parallel workstreams that gave junior engineers opportunities to own subsystems while maximizing parallel development and forward progress. Over the course of 2 years, we implemented a new service to handle basket operations at Wayfair, and then safely integrated that new service into the current flow. Created tools for testing this integration safely on live customers: allowing us to find divergences in legacy and new implementation prior to actively servicing customers. Managed many stakeholders and supported teams across the org with integrating new technology and services into the lower funnel, while acting as an advisor on architecture for several projects.Additionally, was heavily involved with the hiring of junior engineers at the company. - Ran hundreds of interviews for intern, coop, and entry level engineers- Trained other interviewers, and provided guidance as they started- Frequent feedback on process, and contributed code samples in various languages to support interviewees with different backgrounds.

Worked on - The Walking Dead: March to War - Unannounced Mobile TitleContinued work on The Walking Dead: March to War after launch. While supporting the live product, work on pushing shared tech at the company, building a feature framework focused on modularity, uniformity and predictability. Built code generation utilities around this framework in order to accelerate development.Worked with more senior engineering staff, assisting in getting Disruptor Beam's internship program up an running by visiting schools and doing student outreach.Eventually moved onto unannounced project in a full stack capacity until that projects conclusion.

Worked on - Game of Thrones Ascent - Star Trek Timelines - Thorium (proprietary cross-game back-end) - The Walking Dead: March to WarWorked on server(RoR, MySQL) and client(Objective C, Scala, HTML, Javascript) for live product, Game Of Thrones Ascent. Built performant, scalable systems for large scale competitions, and improved performance of key bottlenecks.Moved onto Disruptor Beam's back-end tech team to work on the company's platform(Scala, Mongo, MySQL). Integrated features into Game Server/Client code for Star Trek Timelines (RoR, MySQL, Unity), and created more developer friendly APIs for the platform's services through our Rails Engine.Moved onto The Walking Dead: March To War in production, mostly working on server code (RoR) with some client work(C# Unity). Acted as impromptu platform liaison, and helped develop platform capabilities specifically for needs for TWD, namely sharding support and better publish based communication. Build extendable objective system used for tutorial and narrative systems. Solely built generic game data/localization editor, as part side-project, through Google Sheets Add-on that eventually was used for a large portion of the game data, and eventually was used as the main data pipeline for a majority of the company's products.

Created Dungeons Of Londree as part of the GRAND-Funcom Initiative while at Funcom Games in Montreal Canada. Led the programming team in design and implementation of various aspects of the project, personally created the tools and systems used by level and UI designers to create levels and the interface, automated asset processing for artists, and designed the AI architecture, as well as code review and maintenance.

The Room To Explore project was aimed at helping high school students discover what they wanted out of a college, with an interactive tool developed at the Emergent Media Center. I was in charge, over the course of four months, of developing the system used to create the interactive tool.

Breakaway, a soccer game developed at the Emergent Media Center, funded by the United Nations, with the goal of reducing and preventing violence against women. I came onto the project in it's later stages, and participated in debugging the game before final release. In addition, I worked on the website associated with the game, breakaway.com. During the summer of 2011, I also worked on the CD version of Breakaway, developing a CD that would run on multiple Operating Systems.
