I'm in charge of overseeing development of new features, fixes and optimizations, as well as the deployment procedure to live servers.As engine programmer, I've worked on the following:• Design and implementation of modular load balanced game server architecture. • Redesigned old network code and implemented a new efficient system that could afford to handle thousands of concurrent connections• Designed and implemented low level database abstraction layer and provided a clear API for gameplay programmers• Worked alongside designers to implement a complete AI solution for Regnum Online, including tools and API for scripting. Also implemented several AIs myself.• Several server engine components refactoring and optimizations to allow the whole architecture to support more players• Maintained official Linux port of the game. Ported the unofficial Mac version (on my spare time)• Built client/server game deployment procedure (Used when patching from development to testing, to live testing, to production)• Maintained IT infrastructure, keeping tools up-to-date and running. Infrastructure includes routers, server hardware and local/remote server services.• Constant live debugging looking for crashes, bugs, memory corruptions/leaks. Debugging includes memory dump analysis, running live tools and monitoring live servers.• Refactoring of client/server physics code.• Design, implementation and optimization of gameplay systems. Including all kinds of broadcasting (visibility, combat, chat), dynamic loading of nearby objects, logging facilities, tools.• Client UI engine system fixes and optimizations.• Refactoring of resource system (digital binaries management), both client and server side.
