Industry veteran with 25+ years of engineering and lead experience.Believing I may have some lasting legacy to better the world and inspire/mentor others drives me on through the lean moments. Games are one of the few things that are universal. If anything can bring us together perhaps our shared love of games can.History HighlightsFounder of World Tree Games, a shareware company developing for Epic Megagames (now Epic).Griptonite ~ I built much of the core tech and tools that enabled dozens of shipped Gameboy and iOS/Android titles. C/C++/C#/Arm Assembly/Unity. We transitioned from a young work-for-hire to become the largest independent games developer in North America.EA (PopCap) ~ For nearly ten years it has been my joy to support Plants vs Zombies 2, a legacy C++ mobile title of over 2 million DAU worldwide.
