Nexus Shift Studios is a tabletop gaming company that aims to leverage computing power to enhance the tabletop roleplaying game experience. The game, Children Of The Beast, has an integrated Android application that digitizes character sheets, campaigns, combat calculations, and game mastering to allow for significantly more complex systems which would not be able to done with just pen and paper.I worked as an Android developer on the project, being responsible for the design and implementation of the back-end systems. Those include,- Data representation, initially beginning with a SQLite based system but then migrating to direct object serialization. - Data interface, mainly building off of the ReactiveX library which allowed for abstraction of data into immutable streams, allowing for smoother handling especially when an asynchronous call is required.

I worked as an intern under the title of technical consulting engineer. I was specifically hired to do game development for the Intel XDK team. I was mainly responsible for building a series of tutorials on how to build a simple game, Snake, in HTML5 using the Cocos2d engine on the Intel XDK. Along with that, I was also given the task of building a game that took advantage of the RealSense camera on the Intel XDK, using its JavaScript API. I also represented Intel at the Android Developer's Conference, manning the booth for the Intel XDK.

Upward Automation is a home-automation technology company with the goal of creating the smart home of the future. Our product the Upward Home, consists of a hub device connected to a suite of sensors that allow it to process information realtime, as well as use historical data to tune your home environment to your needs.I helped found Upward Automation with six other students from my university. We were accepted into the SLO HotHouse Accelerator program, and given an office space, a modest sum of money, and entrepreneurial mentoring and allowed to develop our idea for a summer, and then for an indeterminate time afterwards in their follow up incubator program.I personally worked as a software engineer, designing and building out our statistical analysis module of the UpwardOS using test-driven development methods. I programmed in Google Go, and was responsible with making sure that the module was both highly concurrent and highly scalable.

I worked as a intern, mainly doing technical art on several game projects contracted out to Present Creative. I was mainly responsible for formatting the art assets provided to me by the artists to a specification, or producing art assets that required mostly technical knowledge.This could be anything from a simple resolution change, to adding a the same feature to a series of different art assets. In one instance, I had to process a couple dozen images of guns to look like they were in a gun case. I mainly used the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator).
