Since January 2020, I've been independently creating online game experiences. The long term ownership of an entire product with millions of unique players is invigorating. Being responsible for the entire experience makes every day a new challenge and study.I've been thrilled to be a part of all this growth in fans across my games.January 2020 130,000 Monthly Unique UsersMarch 2021 2,100,000 Monthly Unique UsersAs of October 2024, 75 million unique playsJust some of the responsibilities:Project Management -Scoping projects, requirements, adapting agile, waterfall, and extreme programming methods to fit each unique projectAnalytics -Adding metrics to understand user behaviors, key core game mechanic loops, monetization optimization, live error reporting, A/B testing features Marketing -Designing 2d advertising graphics, tracking ad uptake pipelines, conversion rates, managing social media accounts, building a fan community and follower base 2D and 3D Graphics -Using Blender, Gimp, and additional software to create 3D interactive experiences Software Engineering -Version control, testing, reusable frameworks and modules, data structures, OOP architectures, networking optimization, 3D spatial mathematics, path finding, search optimization, agent-based AI User Experience & Product Ownership -User interviews, collecting and aggregating feedback, using hard metrics for user flow and behaviour insights, redesigning UI's, prioritizing feature development

My longest client account at Pariveda, lasting over 6 months, was at a financial technology company with over 40 million active users. I was lucky to have a great project and a really fun team. I led architecture design and meetings, drove and coordinated requirements and API definition between teams, coached teammates, and actively contributed to the codebase. Some languages and frameworks include Python, Kafka, Django, and Schema design.

Lead software engineer on an internal software commercialization framework valued over 7 million dollars. Led product development and marketing during a period of 400% uptake. Matured team software process as I onboarded four new team members, resulting in a globally functioning team with the ability to estimate and deliver on project features in an agile approach.

My next summer involved more independence and decision making. I was responsible for evaluating a system-wide architecture implementation in order to observe and record commands made in an 20+ developer Alpha software project. Too much to write in a blurb, ask me about it!

My first summer with ExxonMobil, I learned Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Framework in order to design and implement three proprietary applications. Steeped in geoscientific domain logic, I enjoyed learning the technical background necessary to integrate our engineering expertise in the form of plugins into Schlumberger's Petrel application.
