Brought on as a developer to handle all aspects of game development from the client-side game engine to the server-side financial backend.

Responsible for setting and enforcing best practices and policies and leading by example. • Shipped around 20 games on worldwide web and mobile platforms. Most of these games have brought in millions of dollars in revenue each.

Learned the (very large) codebase and implemented the new feature in 4 weeks. • Eliminated reliance on an external team for server-side enhancements by leading the architecture and development of a new backend system (Written in C#), which is now handled in-house. This cut the turnaround time of new features down from several months to a few weeks in most cases. • Enhanced source control configurability and ease-of-use by leading migration from an internal TFS to an internal GitLab setup for source control. • Responsible for interviewing and advisement on the hiring of multiple candidates who have since added significant value to the company. • Increased team efficiency by working directly with Technical Artists and Designers to establish a new workflow which reduced reliance on development and granted more control to design.

Freelance Game Developer

Brought in as a result of my work building a material editor for the Torque 3D engine, which did not have one at the time. I created a blog post about it on their website, where they took notice and brought me in to complete it. This was a fully remote position. • Increased productivity and resolved a pain point of not having a visual material editor in the engine by creating a UI and automating the scripting process which was used to create materials in the engine. This was mostly C++, with UI scripting work done in a proprietary scripting language. This tool is still present in the engine today. • Used SVN as the form of source control. Show less
