Atomic BombZ is the developer name under which I publish all my created mobile games. More of my games on anthonyzaatar.com

During my time as a Gameplay Developer intern at Landell Games, I honed my problem-solving skills while tackling key technical challenges in real-time strategy game development. I took the initiative to fix the Guildhall Quick Build feature, ensuring rapid construction was always available at the start of each game, even during reconnections, thereby enhancing the game's early progression mechanics.I also revamped the Minimap functionality, improving player control by enabling right-click unit movement with visual feedback and left-click panning to seamlessly move the camera. Additionally, I optimized Builder Unit behavior by implementing a collision-free system that allowed builders to construct more efficiently without interference, boosting in-game productivity.My contributions extended to refining Resource Collector AI, reorganizing state machines to ensure automated resource gathering and manual drop-off options, streamlining resource management. I also resolved issues with Rally Point functionality for buildings like the Guildhall and Barracks, enabling units to reliably reach designated locations, improving gameplay flow and strategic execution.This experience not only deepened my understanding of game mechanics but also solidified my technical expertise in creating more optimized and user-friendly gameplay systems.

As a backend developer, I significantly expanded my architectural expertise, with a strong focus on domain-driven design, which I adeptly applied to refine API migration methodologies. I lead the development of a comprehensive User API, markedly enhancing the system's efficiency in managing user data and elevating the overall user experience.My deep dive into RESTful principles and authentication mechanisms enriched my skill set, paving the way for the creation of more secure and scalable applications. I also took the initiative in developing a sophisticated invitation management logic using Sendgrid integrated with FastAPI, allowing for seamless user onboarding.Further advancing my technical understanding, I delved into the principles of hexagonal architecture. This exploration led me to commence the migration of the Invitation API, laying a solid foundation for future refactoring efforts and setting a new benchmark for architectural excellence within the team.

As a frontend developer, I gained valuable experience in developing Frontend Web Applications, leveraging the Angular framework and TypeScript to enhance application functionality and user experience. I was instrumental in designing and implementing an innovative feature that introduced an intuitive bar chart visualization, coupled with a sophisticated algorithm capable of detecting and classifying data overlaps and gaps.This enhancement was pivotal in transforming the way clients interact with the web application, significantly boosting usability and improving their decision-making process. The feature not only streamlined interactions but also provided users with actionable insights, thereby elevating the overall effectiveness of the platform.
