  Rewarded with the opportunity to work with top notch game console development teams and an outstanding IRAD Tools team. Participated in the implementation, training and utilization of a truly amazing scene graph engine known as VisKit based on the scene graph principles made popular by SGI’s performer. Lead two development teams of 15-20 artists and coders in working on a Snoopy Fly Ace Project for the Game Cube and Mission Impossible: Operation Surma for the X-Box, Gamecube and PS/2. Integrated stencil based shadow volumes into VisKit prototype using a variation of Carmack's reverse as an optimization technique. Integrated a vertex based baked in shadow mechanism into tool for Spy Hunter for the PS/2. Company sold to Infogrames / Atari for $19.5 million in stock and cash.

• 300 - 400 Employee

• Lead Software Engineer

  • Sep 1998 - Mar 2000

  Directed the activities of all programmers as well as personally coding all of the 3D aspects of the submarine simulation Silent Hunter II. Silent Hunter II enhanced Silent Hunter by bringing it a full 3D engine running under Windows 98/95 Direct 3D/OpenGL and changing its setting from American submarine encounters in the Japanese Pacific to WWII German U-boat encounters in the Atlantic. Lucky enough to work for and with industry experts; William T. Becker and Kim Biscoe– their guidance, understanding; commitment to quality and rock solid integrity left an indelible mark that remains with me to this very day. Involved in all aspects of scheduling and management of programming personnel for the project as well as being the technical liaison to the real-time 3D artists. Managed relationships with external contractors responsible for creating models used in our 3D world. Became very familiar with the scene graph paradigm that has in recent years become popular in the development of real time 3D software. Created numerous additional capabilities for loader for Multigen OpenFlight files for VisKit and Gamebryo (called NetImmerse at the time). Used Visual C++, Direct X, OpenGL, 3DFX Glide, Gamebryo scene graph engine, VisKit scene graph engine, Multigen Creator, 3D Studio Max, Visual Studio, Visual Source Safe, Windows 95/98, Microsoft Project



All-Source Processing, Inc.

• Parsippany, New Jersey

• Director of Software Development

  • Aug 1997 - Aug 1998

  All Source Processing, Inc. created 3d hardware in-house that used a voxel technique to produce realistic terrain from Dem, DTed CIB map data. It used off-the-shelf polygonal rendering chips (3DLabs Glint) to create polygonal effects depth merged with the voxel terrain interleaving frame and depth buffer writes. Coordinated software development, oversaw five programmers, created a software library for card set called the Feature Manager. Used design techniques from the classic Design Patterns book by the Gang of Four. The Feature Manager encapsulated a polygonal object definition system, fonts, 3d symbols, photo realistic icon objects as well as effects such as fog and haze. Dealt extensively with the OpenGL interface on Windows NT & Solaris (using Mesa). This unique environment taught me advanced techniques dealing with multi-resolution(LOD) rendering of terrain, OpenGL and crossing the hardware/software barrier with 3d hardware on the most fundamental levels. Managed the software process with Rockwell Collins to begin integration of our cardset on commercial airlines by the year 2000 using a driver layer to connect to their Objective C NextStep environment. Chose the name that was trademarked for the cardset: "The True-Terrain 3D". Found a software solution for a prospect voxel imaging project for medical diagnosis. Used C++, OpenGL, Mesa, Windows NT, Solaris Unix, Visual Source Safe, Microsoft Project.

• Software Engineer

  • Jun 1995 - Jul 1997

  Involved in programming, design and development of two shipping games and a third project concerning the design and implementation of a WIndows 95 based game development system using Direct X. This process involved extensive design coordination to create a game system that utilized Direct X, sprites, video compression codecs, sound effects and music, input by maintaining an event manager, memory handler, caching system, custom fonts system, and custom user interface for windows, buttons, sliders, supporting translucency, etc. Work on this fundamental library taught me quite a bit about committee based and independent design approaches. Both games involved me in various levels of programming, design and development. The processes, interface design and programming, were done through multiple spiral iterations and Legend continued to uphold their stellar track record of timely game delivery. Oversaw a group of artists and gave them direction to generate final game art. Coordinated with team of testers producing solid entertainment products. Games developed for and credited on include: Blackstone Chronicles, Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon and Star Control 3. Used C & C++, Watcom with DOS4GW & Microsoft Compilers for DOS and Windows 95, RCS, Debabelizer, Photoshop, Autodesk Animator, Smacker
