-Responsible for the Game Development/QA/Security-Launching a new B2C real money gaming vertical where we are perfectly poised to offer social and real money convergence feature offerings.

Launched a real money gaming B2B vertical by leveraging our large game library from our social native mobile library and converting them to web using emscripten.Oversaw the transition of my group into different P&L to better service new verticals.Unified teams synergy by replacing our flash product with our existing mobile application, again using emscripten. Consolidating these products essentially double our team capacity while also meeting flash deprecation deadline set by the different browsers and Adobe.Consolidated our 4 different branches of code for our products to a trunk based development practice. This saves us from herculean effort to merge the branches between different business units. Everyone working in the same trunk saves massive amount of time with bug fixing, feature adoptions and conversion efforts.

Novatech Biometrics brings advanced bio energetic models enhanced with machine learning. These models allow for accurate prediction of harvest and optimized feed usage. We can also create accurate nutritional needs for feed for specific growth stanzas of different fish species and accurately predict waste output from a farm.Knowing all of these factors allowed us to create models that can optimize the entire farm operation for maximizing revenue while making sure that waste level are well within regulation.

The main focus of Karma Gaming was to bring innovation to the lottery business by building new products that engages millennials. Worked with the CIO and CEO to come up with product lines that put Karma Gaming on the global map in the lottery space and allowed us to compete against the big guys with limited resources.Created a game development pipeline that would allow for fast game development and would allow to move from a proven but flailing technology (Flash) to the next generation of game development for the web (HTML5).Created and managed 3 remote offices with different teams and skill set that would maximized content creation and speed to market.Integrated with every major platform on the market (Gtech, OpenBet, Scientific Games, Intralot, Odobo, LotoQuebec-AGL, Lotomattica, Nyx)Made sure our games were GLI compliant.

Consulting for Unity3D and mobile devices

The bulk of my work is specialized in graphic programming. I transformed the framework from using SDL to using accelerate Opengl for all our drawing operations. This will allow for an easy growth path to full 3D. My current work is to look into 3D engines and incorporating the engine in our framework so that it's backward compatible with our current solution. I also created a Particle System along with an editing tool for doing special effects. The old system used generated graphic frame at the cost of texture memory, the new system cuts the cost of texture memory by as much as 97%.Some of the more outlandish tasks includes working on a "real 3d" game using a specialized 3D monitor. With this 3D monitor, you didn't need special glasses to see things in true 3D perspective. I've also been working on a gesture recognition software using specialized camera for future games.Before this I worked on the game framework for the next generation of VLTs. This C++ application was design to support two platforms (Windows and Linux). We are also developing a WYSIWYG tool, which allows the junior programmer to quickly create games. The goal is to create a framework in common for all the games and to cut down on the time required to create a game. 90% of the work I do at Spielo is R&D, most of it makes it into real product.

We transformed a hardware solution for music ear training into a software solution using the IOS platform.

Lead Programmer on a game called DeadWest and Hyperion: d7. My role on DeadWest was initially to do the rendering engine needed to display huge hand painted maps on the IPad. I then moved on to do much of the game component architecture and the AI for the path finding within the painted environment.The same architecture was reused for Hyperion :d7 (now in the App store). My work involved mostly graphics/effects and game play mechanics.

Started a little game development studio for the IPhone. Release a game called Zombie Planet.

I teach a course at the Unviersite de Moncton in the Information Technology Certification. The course is Building Information System and covers process (eXtreme Programming, Unified Process, Scrum) and UML. My goal is to make sure that my students will be able to get in the industry in either programming or in management and understand the concept behind processes being used in the industry and the language that supports those processes.

Design and implemented a framework for online lottery terminals. We delivered a 65M$ contract to our Holland clients SENS and De Lotto.

Designed and implemented a framework for the Dreamstation and Verimax line of products in the Online department. Created the download and versioning program that will update the version of the software on the WinCE and Windows 2000 platform.

We worked on a product that would bridge the games from casino floors to online casinos.

Working on the development of a Network Centric Application Delivery System using the Java and C++ language. This system's primary focus is to deliver multi-platform front ends that connect to Legacy backbone systems.
