As a programmer on the Emoji Blitz game I primarily work on optimizations. I have shaved seconds off the load time of the game. I have found ways to decrease update download size. I have helped optimize workflows by making tools to automate repetitive tasks.Emoji Blitz has a large code base and is over 8 years old. Still, in my first month I identified numerous ways to reduce file size, speed-up data parsing, and improve slower areas of the game. Much of that I discovered on my own volition after completing assigned tasks early.

Worked on a variety of VR games, including Bowl, Darts, Cornhole, and Pool. I implemented new features and fixed bugs. I reviewed git pull requests for engineers, artists, and designers. I helped triage bugs, helped other engineers with code issues, helped artists with performance/size issues, and I would lend my thoughts with game design issues, too.At the end, most of my day to day was spent on maintenance of ForeVR Games' live titles. This required tight collaboration with production, design, and QA. Previously I was a major contributor to both ForeVR Bowl and ForeVR Darts. My work has exposed me to nearly every area of the code base in both games.Some major areas I worked on include:-An avatar recording and playback system for NPCs.-Integrating the in-game shops with PlayFab's inventory system.-Implemented fixes for major slowdowns in bowling ball loading-Major reworks of behind-the-scenes systems preparing Cornhole for launch

Impractical Jokers: Wheel of DoomI was the primary developer on this mobile app, responsible for writing all the project's code. This included game physics, logic, UI, animation, and sound. I was highly involved in the game design process as well, as the design documents were very general and the refinement process was very iterative. I was also the primary person in charge of managing art and sound assets. The production staff at TruTV were so happy with the final game that, after launch, they requested more content and new features.
