Worked on the TapTV product line which includes a trivia and poker game. All work was Unity based and heavily network focused as every game required a central database server, game server, TV client, and a controller on the user’s phone which is how they interacted with the game. Games could be played by hundreds of people simultaneously.

Worked on applications primarily focusing on maintenance routines for nuclear power plants including Deferral IQ, ER Dashboard, IQ Review, JIT Review, LTP Manager, MRule Manager, PAM Manager, Plant IQ, System IQ, LTA Manager & SmartSeal as well as creating dynamic charts with Crystal Reports. Applications were .Net 2.0 with a web frontend and had to be hooked up to both Sql Server and Oracle databases.

Collaborated with in-house development teams to develop unit tests for functionality of key processes. Tests were written in Java and wrote out to XML files and Oracle databases. Resulting data was then automatically fed into Crystal Reports charts.
