As a Senior Tool Programmer at Volition, I worked on the Saint's Row DLC Editor experience. My primary responsibilities included bug fixing and usability improvements within the editor. I contributed significantly to Volition's transition to Unreal Engine, where I designed and conducted educational sessions on Unreal Engine for Programmers. I actively worked on prototyping and crafting essential tools within the Unreal Engine environment.

I developed simulations for autonomous vehicles within Unreal Engine. My contributions spanned a range of critical areas:Artist Tools: I designed and implemented essential tools that empowered artists to craft environments based on real-world locations. These tools included road sign generators, road network importers from OpenDrive, and heightmap blending capabilities within Unreal Engine.World State Broadcasting: I developed a system enabling Unreal Engine to broadcast world state data to non-Unreal environments, facilitating seamless integration and data sharing across platforms.Python Plugin Enhancement: I updated Unreal Engine's Python Plugin to run within the game environment, not just the editor to use as a general purpose scripting language.Performance Optimization: I dedicated efforts to profiling the simulation and enhancing performance, implementing improvements such as optimizations to the SceneCaptureComponent.
