Trained engineers on how to deploy these tools to different platforms.* Wrote a high scores wrapper and implemented cross-platform leaderboards for tracking high scores for a competitive single-player shooting gallery game.* Consulted on unreleased virtual reality educational software projects.

* Led off-shore dev teams to implement Jousting Heroes, a multiplayer battle arena arcade game* Trained new hires to meet key product indicators and improve their software development skills by implementing a system of software standards and teammate-led code reviews* Wrote and maintained cross-platform build tools and input wrappers to accelerate development and save the company $500,000 per year in staff salaries* Set up and managed digital distribution channels on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Network, Microsoft XBox, Nintendo Switch, and Atari VCS* Coordinated with back-end teams to implement the Major League eSports web API

* Released vSpatial, a cross-platform virtual reality application on SteamVR/OpenVR, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest/Go/GearVR, MacOS, Vive Focus/Wave, Pico, Windows Mixed Reality, and Lumin/MagicLeap augmented reality. Architected both the build tools and cross-platform input system for this application.* Led a team of new college graduates to develop C# software with the Unity3D engine and set up an effective code review process to effectively train them. Built and supervised a virtual reality software production pipeline with this team.* Automated cross-platform production build and upload pipeline to only require one click, removing the need for a dedicated build engineer on the team and saving $100,000 per year.

* Implemented front-end UI for an unreleased iOS augmented reality medical application.

* Trained engineers, artists, and designers in the use of the Unity 3D engine for the content pipeline of ReCore, a video game for the XBox One and PC.* Managed contractors and wrote contract deliverable requirements for experimental gameplay features, including procedural content generation and runtime asset generation.* Designed and built pipeline tools for a small team of artists and designers to generate 120 AAA-quality game levels in one year using C# and HLSL shaders.

* Led and managed customer support for 4000+ Kickstarter backers, collecting and reproducing bug reports for the product.* Designed and built licensing and software distribution system for The Dead Linger, a zombie survival simulator, using PHP and MySQL. This system was used by 4,000+ Kickstarter pre-orders and 9,000+ PayPal purchases.* Designed and built the auto-update system that applied incremental content patches to The Dead Linger alpha using NSIS and C++.* Designed and built systems for The Dead Linger's GUI and filesystem transactions in C++ and C#.* Refactored and debugged multiplayer network code in C++ and C#.* Wrote the in-game character dialogue for DETOUR, a construction-based multiplayer war game.* Designed and wrote Linux server backup scripts.

* Guided and advised three civil engineering graduate students in writing their research theses on virtual reality.* Helped write the research paper "A Mobile, Low-Cost, Large-Scale, Immersive, Data Visualization Environment for Civil Engineering Applications" and assisted with two other papers which are still under review.* Designed and built the BYU "Vuepod" CAVE for 10% the cost of similar projects. The CAVE ran on the Linux operating system using the Vrui open source software kit.* Modified Vrui's C++ code to add desired VR control behavior.* Analyzed Vrui's C++ code to work around undocumented features.* Wrote Linux shell scripts and documentation that allowed civil engineering students to perform experiments using the CAVE, reducing the required number of operators from two to one.* Designed and performed virtual reality experiments on dozens of untrained users, measuring their performance under varying degrees of virtual reality immersion.

* Trained and led customer support for 300+ foreign language translators.* Maintained a JavaScript/MySQL software patching system.* Made bugfixes in C++ for MultiLing's Fortis translation suite.* Designed and wrote Linux server backup scripts.

* Led customer support for hundreds of customers for Captains of Darktide, a seafaring fantasy MMORPG.* Designed and built MMORPG levels using the Unity 3D toolkit.

* Led interdepartmental cooperation to implement noninvaisve and accurate realtime systems monitoring.* Designed and managed a project that monitored five different departments and integrated their metrics into a single realtime report. The monitoring scripts were written in Java and sent network messages over the company's intranet.
