Description● The Game Analytics team works with Game Development, Quality Assurance, and Quality Engineering to support the creation and gathering of rich data for the purpose of assessing overall game stability and identifying opportunities for improvement.Responsibilities● Served as an individual contributor.● Created Technical Design Documentation for feature development.● Contributed to Design Review sessions with leadership from many highly diverse teams in both scope and purpose.● Invented a unified relay in C++ and ActionScript that supports sending data from all game systems to any number of endpoints as needed by each individual title.● Organized workflow adjustments to improve cohesion between different development, test, and design teams.● Selected for a highly specialized team of experts tasked with the creation of the core component in the latest game data analysis tool suite using .Net, MVC, SQL, ElasticSearch, and Docker.● Consistently executed assignments ahead of schedule.● Designed an efficient data analyzer using .Net that accurately identifies game systems that are not performing as expected.● Liaised with internal teams for the identification, prioritization, and tracking of User Stories as well as bugs using JIRA.● Designed tests, both unit and system, to ensure desired functionality of newly created features and prevent regression of resolved bugs.● Authored technical designs, product specifications, and training materials using Confluence.● Executed regular testing of system performance using ReSharper Ultimate.Environment: ActionScript, Agile, C++, C#, Confluence, Docker, ElasticSearch, FlashDevelop, Git, Jenkins, JIRA, JSON, MVC, MVVM, .Net, Perforce, SQL, Visual Studio, WebAPI, WPF, XAML, XML, YAML

● Served as an individual contributor and as technical lead.● Participated is Design Review sessions with company leadership.● Contributed to numerous expansions to the Unity3D content processing pipeline.● Expanded the Unity3D Editor to support nested prefabs.● Constructed dozens of Unity3D MonoBehaviours.● Integrated SCORM compliant trainer with customer online Learning Management System using JavaScript and Unity3D.● Created .NET scheduler capable of operating in the kHz range in support of high-precision mechanical simulation.● Developed a strong-typed extension to the INotifyPropertyChanged ecosystem using LINQ Expressions and Reflection.● Leveraged .NET LINQ Expressions and Reflection to track history of INotifyPropertyChanged events.● Architected a three-way merge tool for proprietary data under version control with tools such as Git or Plastic SCM.● Implemented a pattern to support automated version migration of Data Contract and Protocol Buffer serialized data.● Designed a means of synchronizing execution state across multiple applications and machines.● Engineered an API for deterministic data communication in a multithreaded environment using JSON or Protocol Buffers.● Led the development of a .NET framework for the creation and execution of lessons.● Constructed a .NET SDK enabling engineers to rapidly implement State Machines for simulating complex systems.● Supported other teams with the creation of a dynamic project management interface built in C++ and Python.● Integrated tools with Subversion and Plastic SCM.● Liaised with internal teams for the identification, prioritization, and tracking of User Stories as well as bugs using JIRA.● Designed tests, both unit and manual, to ensure desired functionality of newly created features as well as prevent regression of resolved bugs.● Authored technical designs, product specifications, and training materials using Confluence.● Mentored junior team members.

● Opened a new avenue for business growth by architecting SimControl, an iPad app that serves as an Instructor/Operator Station for use with several flight simulators in a personal capacity as well as in FAA approved pilot training.● Created a competitive advantage by reducing load times and improving user engagement through composition of an algorithm allowing for aircraft reposition that performs more than 10 times faster than industry alternatives.● Enhanced product line by allowing for advanced certification from the FAA through implementation of a weather control system that allows for robust and accurate definition of weather layers used for training in reduced visibility conditions.

● Engineered a contextually sensitive knowledge base for dialogue management in expert systems.● Researched a new technique for processing natural language to identify the underlying purpose of sentences in the context of a larger body.

● Reduced operational costs for data acquisition by designing a web crawler tasked with identifying public events such as concerts, festivals, comedy acts, and so forth. The system accurately harvested approximately 80% of desired information with less than 1% error rate
