Working on bringing games designed for old hardware to modern-gen consoles.

Got laid off from Twitch. Used the opportunity to take scuba diving classes, travel to Hawaii, Japan, and Italy, be a full-time house husband, and start raising a new Corgi puppy. Great opportunity to reset after over a decade of continuous employment with no breaks longer than a few weeks.

I managed a very talented team of developers who build our living room applications as well as the technology that powered them. We supported Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch, Android TV, Apple TV, LG, and Samsung just to name some of the greatest hits.

Individual contributor specializing in C++, Android, and tvOS development. I helped build the Twitch apps for smart TV devices and game consoles.

Led the mobile development team that built the companion app for Vector, both on iOS and Android.Technologies used: C# / Xamarin / Python / SQLDelivered both applications on a short timeline (9 months!), taking heavy advantage of Xamarin to share as much business logic as possible between the iOS and Android app. I contributed heavily as both an individual contributor and as a leader in coming up with technical solutions and working with the UX and UI teams to implement a UI system and pipeline that met their needs.Features I had a big hand in: localization infrastructure, asset export pipeline, account creation/management, HTTP services layer, cloud services integration, first time robot onboarding UX, Amazon Alexa integration.

I built and shipped the following mobile games:Tiny Pets (iOS) - Lead ProgrammerTiny Monsters (iOS) - Lead programmerFamily Guy: The Quest for Stuff (iOS/Android/HTML5) - Lead ProgrammerMarvel Avengers Academy (iOS/Android) - ProgrammerFuturama: Worlds of Tomorrow (iOS/Android) - Lead ProgrammerTechnologies used: C++ / Objective C / Java / Python / MySQL / Cocos2d

From 2006 to mid 2008 I worked on mobile porting on J2ME platforms as well as developing new game content.Technologies used: J2ME / C++ / Objective C / Unity3D / JavaWhen the iPhone SDK launched, I joined the iPhone team, working on porting games such as PAC-MAN Lite, Pole Position Remix, Alpine Racer, and Star Trigon Lite.In 2009, I served as the UI and networking programmer for Pool Pro Online 3, creating a cross platform networking framework used in making the iPhone, PC, and Java versions of the game. I also created font and localization tools for the project that have since been adopted for other Namco titles.In 2010, I worked with another engineer to save the Bit.Trip BEAT iOS port after an external studio failed to meet their deadline. I was even able to add a networked multiplayer component, a feature not even included in the WiiWare version of the game.My last project was prototyping and building gameplay code for Heli-Awesome, which shipped on the App Store a few months after I left.
