Leading a team of gameplay programmers in building the expansion Warlords of New York for The Division 2.

Driving memory and CPU performance work for our game servers on The Division 2, with a focus on multi-threading and parallelization. Developing tools and processes to track progress towards performance targets during development and ensure we reach those targets. Working on systems like memory allocation tracking and other non-intrusive performance data tracking and export for server machines with 40-50 cores. Debugging issues like thread starvation, thread priority handling in the Windows scheduler, and identifying OS-side bottlenecks for efficient parallel computing.Higher level features like exporting large amounts of detailed runtime data to databases and building user friendly visualizations to help both analysis and debugging. Training team members in working with performance tools and solving performance related issues.I made a presentation for GDC based on this work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcXxyKqgV0c

Leading a team of programmers in developing the AI systems for Tom Clancy's The Division.

Planning work for a group of six to eight gameplay programmers on the Far Cry 3 multiplayer team, with responsibility for the quality of the gameplay systems and code. In March 2011 I also took over the HR responsibility for the team. My programming tasks were mainly production support, network, core game logic, optimization and debugging.

Worked as Gameplay Programmer on World in Conflict: Soviet Assault and Far Cry 3. Tasks varied between UI, networking, AI, core game logic, etc.
