Laserchain.io is the worlds first Cryptocurrency 4x wargame. Inspired by time spent at Kabam, the business model revolves around giving people crypto based hard currency for performing ingame actions and then letting them sell this currency to other players on an exchange. The entire backend stack is NodeJS, and the frontend is written in Unity. The game is cross platform and works on iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows.

Worked with excellent people to take the game from the ground floor to one of the most popular and lucrative games at Kabam.Worked to port the Edgeworld Flash codebase to mobile using the Adobe Air Flash Exporter. We had a working version on iOS in 2 months. This required a lot of code refactoring and optimization to get the game running smoothly on mobile.Worked as a LUA engineer on the Kabam Slots team using the popular framework MOAI.Developed the client side build process utilizing hudson and a number of custom written ruby scripts to allow one button deploy, rollback, and cache breaking.Developed a highly effective browser caching system for The Godfather that cut loading times by 80%. This system could easily identify which files were new or dirty based on query string. We also moved the data stream from JSON to AMF to reduce the load time even further. Developed a creative and highly optimized scheme for using all 4 channels of color information in a lossless PNG file to encode map information for our game. The PNG is compressed, lossless, and can be cached in the browser cache. The patent for this technology is listed at the bottom of this page.
