Helped design and develop Popcaps new HogEngine included in this was a 2d animation system, particle integration, UI layer, and service architecture. I designed the services architecture which abstracted out the implementations of Facebook and Game Center and created a cross platform layer on top. I designed the content architecture that stores assets in Amazons s3, meta data in Amazons SimpleDB and is downloaded and updated after installation.I gave presentations and was involved in EA's release Gate process for an iOS game.

Worked on PC/Mac version of Amazing Adventures - Riddle of the two knightsIOS game- cocos2dx abstraction of the simplesoundengine- fragment shader for ios, to disguise objects in real time on the gpu.

Developed a tab editor for IPad. Using an existing mac code base porting code and adding features. Created a compression pipeline for lossless audio compression using multiple techniques and existing compression algorithms. Worked on simple reverbs and distortion dsp algorithms. Implemented IPad specific user interface elements in objective c. Profiled and optimized existing code to work with limited resources of the IPad. Optimized dsp algorithms for speed using SIMD instructions. Created multiple projects that have been featured in Apple commercials and in the top ten lists all over the world!.

Developing audio technology along side FMOD. Gameplay programming: Creating audio components for sound tracking and teardown in 3D space, Animation and audio integration for simple jawflap, Pirate Ship audio programming. Tools programming: Creating scripts to bulk change assets in Python, Creating a Mix editor and widgets to install mixes at runtime in C++.Communication: Dealing directly with audio engineers and building tech specifically for implementing solutions and speeding up asset development.

At Radical Entertainment I worked as an Audio programmer in the Advanced Technology Group (ATG). ATG mainly works on the lower level hardware abstractions and asset pipelines for the game teams. Specifically: 
Crash “Mind over Mutant” - ADPCM audio encoding and decoding on the Wii. As well as pipeline changes to support this change in Python. 
Prototype – Mp3 decoding and encoding on the PS3. Integrating PS3 audio system with our in house audio systems using a custom SPU effect to transfer data. Improving the audio pipeline to support these changes in Python. . 
VOIP communication system using speex speech encoding. Porting this system to the PS3 and PC. 
I brought all these projects from design to finish on time and was able to help write a report to get SRED tax credit as well. As acting team lead I attended team lead meetings and helped plan and manage the ATG audio team.

At Sanewave I worked on a next generation cross platform(windows/mac osX) DJ tool for mixing and scratching audio files. I added AAC and MP3 support using open source libraries and Apples itunes SDK. I developed an object to relational database mapping system using SQLite and c++. I developed two IEEE 1394 (FireWire) specialized audio devices using BridgeCO FireWire chips and c++ firmware. I wrote the firmware to route the audio and setup the hardware SRC and SPI to I2C bridge. To help our customer Lexicon with a tight deadline I integrated our FireWire interface into their C# managed c++ editing tool. As a senior developer at Sanewave I also dealt with customers, timelines and customer expectations.

In my position at Photochannel I designed, developed, and lead a team integrating a photo lab utility (PLU) for Photochannels clients (Walmart Canada, Costco, CVS pharmacy). The PLU is an integrator between Photochannels back end and the printing systems at the lab. It can output to multiple printers, view orders, resubmit them and store them. I took this product from high level design to release and to releasing a second version using a custom developed (I wrote) automatic update system. This project used C# for the client and SOAP (XML) to communicate with our server. The PLU is installed on at least 10000 lab machines.Created mutiple versions of an Activex uploader for simple image uploading.

Coding to integrate multi-platfrom (VXworks, linux, BSD) and multi programming languages (java, c++, c) Router products.

worked on delphi and c++ plugins to ACCPAC's CRM.
