An experienced software and design engineer, I specialize in software, security, and structural architecture. I have a deep understanding of game engines and app development. My familiarity with the long development cycles and costly delays associated with bringing 3D apps to market led me to found TGS Tech. MMO games are in demand but because of the burn rates and time they require to develop, many companies aren’t making them. Born from Triad Games, TGS Tech exists to build a better way of collaborating within 3D interactive application development. The team of industry veterans I’ve assembled, which includes gamers, developers, and engineers, allows us to look at these age-old problems from a unique perspective. We applied our collective expertise and developed a better solution — something that even the biggest players in the industry haven’t been able to accomplish. Pulling from deep gaming and software knowledge and experience across multiple engines, the team and I have successfully built a real-time collaborative game engine. Given that our all-in-one platform allows for live, real-time collaboration, TGS Tech has closed a gap in the multi-user and MMO market and created a unique, cutting-edge solution with no competition, viable or otherwise. Now that development is underway, our next step is to raise $17 million Series A funding. This financial support will fund us for 24 months as we prioritize talent acquisition and market growth, culminating in the release of our Alpha to the general public, which is when we will begin generating revenue.

At Sony, being “Community Staff” meant that I tackled a diverse set of responsibilities, including community relations, GUI development, 3D art development, and testing. Specifically, I developed beta GUI, 3D models, 3D asset development, and scene building that met client-side requirements. In addition to my creative tasks, I also took on the responsibility of community support. This role involved providing comprehensive assistance to players within specific games and on forums. My focus was on enhancing the overall user experience within the game and with respect to game user interfaces.
