I work on core game features and architecture for games as well as some tools for Game Designers/Artists. Work closely with UI to develop and integrate new UI into the game. Integration of the Rockyou Ad API into current/future games (such as Kitchen Scramble). Give accurate time estimates of tasks and work with other engineers on problems to come up with simple, clean solutions.The lastest project I have worked on is Bakery Blitz, it is available on ios/android/facebook. I helped architect and implement our base game framework (using a MVC design pattern) as well as work on very core game features (the product/food system, grindable goals, upgrades, twists, tutorials, powerups, avatar, level modes)

I work as a junior engineer on games created for the handheld/mobile platform (iPhone/iPad) and social network games (Facebook). The games I've worked on dealt with publishers such as EA, Konami and Ubisoft.I worked on House M.D Critical Cases that was on the facebook platform and published by Ubisoft.

We had to create a full 3D game in 5 months while working with a team of 12 people: 5 programmers, 4 artists, and 3 internal producers. I was the Rendering/Special Effects lead for team, I wrote the rendering and special effects engines and helped others out with rendering issues. Some other tasks were creating the resource manager which handled the loading/recycling/deleting of all game resources, utilizing bounded volume hierarchies for collision detection, creating a Maya 3D exporter for the visual effects, and using Mel Script to make level exporting easier. The game was rendered with OpenGL and written in C++.

This is a game I worked on for my Structures of Game Production class for about 2 months on a team of 4 programmers. The basic description of the game is its a turn-based RPG. The game was written in C++ and the tools were written in C#, we used FMOD for the audio and DirectShow for the cutscenes and the game itself used Direct3D to render everything. I was responsible for the Particle editor/system, code profiler that exported to an excel file showing detailed information about functions being called, animation engine, HLSL pixel shaders, cinematics engine using DirectShow, combo system, battle system, combo wheel and hud artist/designer.
