Software engineer with a special interest in on/offline artificial life and its video game pre-requisites (game logic programming & scripting platform integration, spatial modeling)
Begrudgingly, a game designer with a focus on immersive, story driven experiences.
I take pride in shipping memorable advice and awesome code.
Previously:
- Worked at Bonsai AI (now purchased by MS)! Not game related but a smashing opportunity to expand horizons learning about AWS, Docker, PPC64LE and all manner of cool tech.
- Worked on several products using Unity 3D.
- Built and sold iPhone/iPad games (sole ownership) using ObjC/C/OpenGL-ES1/2
- At ECitySky (Beijing), designed a set of APIs and contributed multi-language integration (via haXe, v8) to a product similar to 2nd Life.
- At OpenBet, played a key role in defining a policing a framework used to build dozens of mini games.
