My roles have been varied.
I've built prototypes in collaboration with designers
I've been embedded in the core of projects, making level editors and bespoke tools
I've shaped new graphical, shader, and particle systems in the heart of engine teams
I've crafted Animation tools and pipelines for both key-frame and motion capture
I've split my time between multiple projects, balancing priorities and scope
I've created novel systems to build starships, character faces, stadium crowds, city lighting, and navigation mesh
I've worked alongside infrastructure teams creating online services to go hand-in-hand with the game design
I've designed analytics events, captured them, and processed them at scale to answer design questions
I've built data collection systems to unify revenue reporting streams into a cohesive view
"More than anything, I'm proud to help teams ship great games."
