Responsible for the architecture and construction of a new game platform middleware layer designed to offload the majority of non-unique game responsibilities and to allow for common game updates without resubmission. Key features include a plug-in style dependency injection system, transparent runtime dynamic inheritance, and structured communication.

Vacaville, CA

Responsible for architecture and construction of a fluid dynamics model simulating the drilling activities on land, sea and deep water oil rigs for use in training and verification of skillsets within the oil and gas industry. To this end I created a real time, massively parallel, GPU based, computational fluid dynamics framework to model fluid behavior.

Orlando, Florida Area

As R&D team lead, I guided of up to 5 software, systems and electrical engineers in research of various topics including next generation videoconferencing, augmented reality, computer vision, hardware interfaces and just in time maintenance training.

Orlando, Florida Area

As part of the modeling and simulation team for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Pilot Training Aid (PTA) I completed various subsystem modeling tasks including simulation of guided and unguided weapon systems, sensor platforms, aircraft guidance systems as well as the porting of operational flight code to a simulation framework for validation purposes.

I was responsible for creating the effects system to integrate into the existing graphics engine. Effect subtypes include trails, sprites, meshes, lights, particle systems, explosion layers, and require dynamic geometry manipulation. To facilitate this process, I have written a MSXML SAX parser, vector and matrix libraries, a handful of custom pixel and.

Technical programming lead for a team of four programmers creating complex simulation content. Projects thus far have included rotary and fixed wing aircraft, ground forces, naval ships, commercial vehicles, and entity behaviors. Technical challenges include predictive text, object picking, simple physics, and visual effects.

Software Engineer responsible for making component modules to simulate aircraft subsystems. The programming language used was C++, and created modules included a class based state machine to simulate an aircraft UFCP (Up Front Control Panel) and a visual display to relay GPS data to the pilot.
