I designed and developed multiple coordinated systems to build Seeb Defender, a tower defense, roguelite, farming simulation. I had to manage a large project, designing bespoke algorithms and data structures to reach 60+FPS. I designed asset import pipelines to compile a custom-built scripting language into a highly optimized mesh generation system as a tool to generate plants in the farming simulation.

Designing and developing scalable cloud infrastructure for a young startup as a lead developer.Leading towards scalable and secure software architecture and process design using terraform and agile methodologies, among others.

- Drove agile adoption by encouraging best practice - adopted 50% of team lead responsibilities after existing lead exited the company - Fully documented stories - reliable definition of done- Was the #1 expert on C# and Unity technical details and best practices - provided guidance to senior and staff level developers - Drove development of a major refactor of an existing Unity application- Created foundations for QA practice. - Used stronger documentation to standardize existing manual testing procedures - Used as a source of truth for testing standards for my entire time employed- Designed and implemented high visibility logging - Configured a custom multi-target logging system: to unity console, file logs, and azure App Insights - Filterable on a per-target and per-category level with a on-device json configuration file. - enabled high visibility into application operation, as well as highly valuable onsite support statistics available in app insights- Demonstrated advanced knowledge of unity specific technologies and development practices - implemented unit tests on error prone code - reduce build times by 30% by organizing code into assembly definitions - Design package-based solution layout to share common code and unity assets between multiple projects, removing them from most rebuild operations.- reduced time spent re-communicating existing information by 30% - Led by example towards a culture of documentation and durable communication. - existing knowledge was primarily obtained through conversations and knowing who to talk to. I helped get that information into an easily accessible place - saved days worth of onboarding time, and prevented errors which had been arising due to miscommunications- Increased code confidence and quality - mentored through code reviews - Established best practices code quality documentation
