Manage feature team for financial website via Sitecore: staffing, training, requirements, process, planning. Create with product owner and scrum master the intake process and project roadmaps for 3 global regions. Coordinate product releases between client teams, dev teams, and NOC in two datacenters. Collaborate with scrum master and quality lead to determine “fallback” ratios and team velocity. Consult with lead engineer to fulfill skillsets and team composition, do code reviews and 1-on-1s. Conduct screenings & interviews, hired consultants, facilitated intra-department transfers. Confirm designs technical viability for responsive desktop, laptop, and mobile layout and functionality

Managed department of 15 developers across 3 product lines. Scoped, planned, developed, delivered, and maintained cross-platform software to overseas customers. Coordinated design and integration of remote team efforts. Spearheaded new products requiring computer vision and machine learning. Worked in both waterfall and agile environments. Coached career goals and wrote reviews.

Toronto, On, Ca

Architected and managed development of new features across the Legal Solutions suite. Spearheaded the "OCR as Text" feature for Case Notebook, improving fidelity and recognition time by 10X. Coordinated many engineers' development across multiple products: E-Transcript Manager, Reporter Edition, Publisher. Helped transition company from waterfall to Agile process, balancing "look-ahead" architecture with 2-week cycles.

Billund, Dk

User-generated content team for player-creation of custom brick models. Created state-machines for different build-modes creating, destroying, and updating models via client-and-server message passing for security and synchronization. Wrote position and orientation goal-integrator across multiple parallel behavior "strips" for frame-correct synchronization. Implemented lazy-allocated blueprint-data cache for synchronizing clients and server minimizing database queries.

Team lead of 5 engineers creating augmented-reality military-simulation serious-games via custom network-distributed applications. Diagrammed system architectures, identified new and missing work, researched new technologies. Gathered customer requirements, wrote statements-of-work, scheduled resources, planned milestones, and ran team meetings. Responsible for employee hiring and review process.

Lead engineer on educational first-person-shooter "Dimension:Evolver" for Tabula Digita on Torque engine. Headed-up all feasibility prototypes by iterating with artists, documenting approaches for UI, narration, and progress control game logic. Wrote final custom "meta-math" system for truly solving all problem types in the game, minimizing level-design error. Customized Torque-script loading sequences for custom cinematics, character and object loading. Customized C++ engine for tighter soundbyte-stitching, and added more character animation controls.

Plano, Tx, Us

Designed, scoped, and implemented "immersive interaction" components of "VisConcept" tools for 3D-visualization of manufacturing options. Integrated custom "wand" device including 6-degree-of-freedom sensor, digital buttons, and analog thumbstick. Wrote a "virtual signal" abstraction for translating each wand state (static and transition) into custom-mappable game-messages. Set-up demo lab by measuring placement of sensor-emitters and 3 large-format screens into CAVE and PowerWall configurations.

Designed, developed, and delivered applications and training for visualization customers. Architected library of classes for state-interactive 3D models: tools, fasteners, and parts interact realistically to simulate jet-engine maintenance with full-body motion-tracking and IK for Pratt & Whitney JSF. Wrote Space Shuttle docking simulation with simple and orbital mechanics with or without rotational constraints, with support for mouse, 2D/3D joysticks, and various gamepads (to be used in education and distributed publicly). Authored CAVE libraries for rendering multiple general-projection screens from a tracked stereo head point.
