Working on the upcoming game Genesis Noir, I've been responsible for performing analysis of profiler captures and game optimization coming from that. I've also implemented render-to-texture support for our new custom vector animation rendering system, verlet physics for a gravity simulation, and overhauled the game's UI for controller support, including a number of core engine changes to support these features.

I was responsible for designing and implementing a number of key game systems, including character abilities and buffs/debuffs, combat state machine, databinding for the UI, and serialization/save games.

I was responsible for implementing engine support and UI/HUD logic for an unannounced project.

At Epiphany I was responsible for a number of Unity-based projects, including a browser-based space simulator, and an Xbox port of an existing Unity title. I was responsible for the complete implementation of the former, including UI programming, game logic and internal data models, in addition to the integration of the Xbox platform APIs for the console port, UI and controller support, and some localization and performance optimization.

At StartVR I was responsible for implementing a localizable, 3d-interactive, data-driven UI system for their Unreal 4 VR experience Awake.The UI made use of data tables to ease menu implementation, especially with level/chapter select screens, and to make the menus easier to localize. It involved creating custom blueprints that blended UMG and actor functionality to create an interface users could reach out and touch, rather than the 'laser pointer cursor' system often used in such titles… Show more At StartVR I was responsible for implementing a localizable, 3d-interactive, data-driven UI system for their Unreal 4 VR experience Awake.The UI made use of data tables to ease menu implementation, especially with level/chapter select screens, and to make the menus easier to localize.

At SAE I instructed students in the use of the UDK, Unreal Engine 4, and Unity for the purpose of creating both narrative-driven, single player and multiplayer game levels and game prototypes in addition to general game design theory. I provided practical instruction on the editors themselves, scripting with both C++/Unrealscript and Kismet/Blueprint, and C# for Unity, lighting, materials and asset creation. I was also responsible for critiquing and providing ongoing feedback to students… Show more At SAE I instructed students in the use of the UDK, Unreal Engine 4, and Unity for the purpose of creating both narrative-driven, single player and multiplayer game levels and game prototypes in addition to general game design theory.

Computer design and assembly, diagnosis and repair with a solid dash of retail sales

Implementing gameplay and game frameworks, using Kismet, Unrealscript, Actionscript3 and C++. I provided advice on technical matters, and helped design and build levels in the Unreal Editor. I also assisted in 3d asset creation, audio and UI.
