Working on the entire stack for Project: Gorgon, a live indie MMORPG, with a focus on improving UX of the game via Unity on the frontend. To date, I've: • Implemented several new systems, including: player mounts, climbable ladders, fishing framework, and new camera types (free-form and “action” camera) • Redesigned Ability, Item, Quest, and Party UIs to display info concisely, with added functionality on both the client (Unity) and server (Java, Groovy, JSON) • Improved animations across the board by converting legacy to Mecanim, implementing inverse kinematics, custom events, StateMachineBehaviors, and stick-to-ground logic for quadrupeds • Optimized performance issues related to static batching, lighting, model and texture loading, third-party terrain, and UI logic, with the help of the built-in profiler • Revamped a core interface, the targeting UI, from design to implementation with multiple iterations based on player feedback, accounting for hundreds of different entity types • Sped up development and maintenance with custom editor scripts, refactoring of core systems to reduce duplicate code and improve runtime speed, and additional data validation • Tackled hundreds of player-submitted bugs for both front-end and back-end, often interacting with players on our public Discord to gather additional info and provide bugfix updates • Added rollerskates to playable spiders to serve as their mount form, my finest work yet

At Synersteel, I handle everything technical and logistical. I focus primarily on programming and producing. I build our games in Unity3D using C#, and manage them using Asana, Miro, Discord, and Google Drive. We've commercially released 4 games across 3 platforms (PC, Android, iOS), and are currently working on Valley of Shadow, a story-heavy puzzle game that we've exhibited at PAX East, Tiny Teams, and elsewhere. For Valley of Shadow, I: • Design and implement puzzles primarily based around A* pathfinding in 3D space, CSG mesh manipulation, and light/shadow raycasting • Created and continuously improve a robust trigger system with various activation methods and dozens of trigger types, including basic on/off, player control, object manipulation, analytics tracking, rendering interactions, and scene management • Stay current with tech by converting to HDRP, utilizing VFX Graph for performance-critical effects, using Shadergraph and Prefab Variants, and keeping the editor up to date • Lead production efforts through month-long Scrum sprints managed in Asana, analyzing and acting upon playtest feedback (both in-person and remote), participating in conventions and festivals, and composing patch notes and devlogs • Utilize Unity's built-in tools with proficiency, encompassing Frame Debugger, Profiler, NavMesh, Audio Mixer, Input System, and Animations/Animators • Customize the editor with new scene view gizmos, Inspector UIs, and data management tools, e.g. a script that finds and replaces all materials of a certain type through the entire game

• Built admin portal in ReactJS + Redux to interact with backend, with 30+ components.• Designed & implemented React Native app with native Android library, with 10+ pages.• Led dev team as Scrum Master, ensuring regular Sprint meetings, QA, and code reviews.• Wrote & maintained 700+ unit tests, dozens of integration tests and storybook stories.

• Architected, implemented, and publicly documented an OpenID auth server with secure API routes using Test-Driven Development with .NET (C#), MySQL, and Postman• Built a fully responsive user-facing portal to interface with auth server in AngularJS• Streamlined and documented AWS deployment process alongside Chief Architect• Created front- and back-end samples as learning tools in .NET, NodeJS, and PHP• Led daily Stand-Up and bi-weekly Sprint Planning meetings as Scrum Master for team of 7-10 devs• Hired and mentored software development interns

• Used ASP.NET and C# to develop web applications to manage identification credentials.• Integrated our software with fingerprint scanners using .NET.• Wrote and modified web services in both .NET and Java.• Set up and maintained a Virtual Machine server that housed over 20 VMs.• Set up and maintained databases using Oracle and MySQL.• Modified build scripts written for Apache Ant.• Followed the Agile software development methodology.
