I've published 4 independently video games, 2 of which achieved commercial success. I created Base Wars (available on Steam), an ~80,000 LoC multiplayer Turn Based Strategy written in Java. My recent success has been Idle Elemental, a minimalist unfolding game available on web, desktop, and mobile. These reached ~6500 downloads and maintain an active userbase.I demo'd Base Wars to a live audience in 2018 and 2020 at the video game convention Super Smash Con.

I pioneered the Golang codebase from its first lines of code to 5 complete microservices used in product and client demos. • Wrote Bazel build rules which improved CI run time from 1 hour to 20 minutes. • Implemented core test suite used by all services. Spearheaded testing development. Defined and enforced testing standards, leading to 95+ percent test coverage.

I refined the core product to improve ease of use and comprehension for current and future clients. • Created GUI interface for Test Kit API using JQuery and Electron, enabling clients to customize test cases. • Created toy application to demo Test Kit. Prepared demo presentation for potential clients. • Promoted MVC architecture and enforced separation of concerns, improving stability and testability in the codebase.

I procured a network system for METECS to improve the HERA analogue mission’s accuracy. • Orchestrated a VR Network System for NASA’s HERA analogue mission, facilitating astronaut EVA training. • Used in-house REST interface to coordinate between a server and 3 VR clients. Duplicated network implementation for Staging and Production environments.

Improved testing at METECS, a NASA contractor located on JSC campus. • Designed and developed test cases for NASA’s collision detection system PONG. Found a floating point precise case where a collision was missed. Presented findings to a board of NASA engineers. • Implemented hand tracking interface in VR setup. Built Proof of Concept web browser navigable through hand gestures alone.

Interned through high school at the robotics facility TRACLabs on a remotely operated pumping system. • Created a RESTful server to remotely control water pumps. Designed Frontend UI with HTML/CSS/JavaScript to monitor and interface with server. • Implemented VR model of pump system that reflected system state to user.
