I am a Gameplay Engineer on GOLF+, a VR golfing sim. As an engineer my responsibilities include building game mechanics and modes. Another large part of my job is finding and fixing bugs as well as optimizing and reworking existing features. Coming into an existing live project with sometimes weekly releases, it has been critical to be able to work within other engineers' code with quick turnarounds. With this role comes new challenges, such as working with more traditional web development and working with server based Multiplayer.

I was the Lead Developer/Technical Director on Freakpocalypse. Episode 1 was released in March 2021. This project had only two developers, so there wasn't a single part of the game I didn't touch. I have built a number of tools to speed up development, including tools for narrative, localization, sequences, animations, and every image for the game. Episode 2 is currently in development.

I worked on around 15 projects in my time at S5D. I developed many AR/VR experiences–sometimes as a solo developer and sometimes as a team lead–for companies like Bell Flight, American Airlines, IBM, and Textron.

At Aireal, I designed and built systems for Geospatial AR apps and managed all project development. Major projects I led included SOLAR–which was picked up by the Science Channel–and an AR Shark Week app for Discovery Channel.

I was a balance tester at Robot Entertainment for 3 months. I played dozens of games of Orc Must Die Unchained every day with the other testers. We evaluated the game to determine if it was balanced and fun to play; if not, we discussed with the designers where tweaks or changes could be made. We also reported bugs to the QA team and played alongside the community.

I worked on InnerSpace as a part of the early design and development, primarily as a Level Designer; I also designed some mechanics and general functionality. I built out levels within Unity using Probuilder and primitives for testing and tweaking. I also scripted and prototyped puzzles and mechanics.
