As an SDE on the Persona team within Amazon GG (Game Growth, formerly Game Publishing Studios), I implemented a number of different services and features. I implemented the bulk of the Persona privacy automation service to handle customer requests related to right-to-be-forgotten legislation. I implemented the Persona entitlement federation service. I designed and implemented the OAuth 2.0 endpoints for the Persona identity service. I built an Unreal Engine Plugin for the Persona SDK, enabling full functionality of the identity service for both Blueprints and C++ developers. And I designed a descriptive file format and implemented a programmatic interface to enable a shim to differ permissions and routes based on caller, endpoint, and data attributes.I have additionally done cross-team technical design document standardization work. And during the launch of New World, I collaborated on the design and implementation of a high priority beta key delivery system.

As the instructor for EECS 494, I was responsible for setting the syllabus and course schedule. Transitioning from the Fall semester to the Winter semester, I changed the structure of the course to incorporate multiple sprints for the students' final projects. This enhanced the use of agile development and contributed to the development of high quality final projects across the board.

As the GSI for EECS 494, Game Design, I gave lectures describing and demonstrating the use of zenilib, my game development framework. Additionally, I helped students outside of class both in person and via e-mail. I held this position a number of times over the years, but not continuously.As the GSI for EECS 381, Object-Oriented Advanced Programming, I regularly helped students in office hours. Additionally, I maintained the autograder for the course. I held this position during the Winter 2009 semester.

I taught high schoolers how to make video games using the Zenipex Library (zenilib). This year, I started the course with a whiteboard presentation of advanced C++ concepts, vector math, and basic physics simulation. Only once that was complete did we go to the computers. This improved the questions asked by the students, giving them more time to learn about real design issues while working on their projects.

I taught high schoolers how to make video games using the Zenipex Library (zenilib). This time I attempted more of a top down approach to the game development process. I believe it was a successful experiment that benefited the students immensely.

I taught high schoolers how to make video games using the Zenipex Library (zenilib), a game development engine and framework I have been working on since 2006. Using my engine, they had to use C++ and a bit of SDL. Some cool 2.5D and 3D games came out of their two weeks with me.
