Skills
Summary
Since 2002, I have focused on AAA Game Development - primarily gameplay programming. Major shipped titles include Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (2014), Three (3) location-based VR experiences: Secrets of the Empire (2017), Ralph Wrecks VR (2018), and Avengers, Damage Control (2019), and six (6) "snapshots" of Deadrop (2022-2023). I have worked on vehicle simulations, player movement, camera systems, animation, and AI. Generally speaking, I thrive when working on difficult gameplay problems. My main programming language is C++, though recently, I've written a lot of "blueprint", while working in UE4 and UE5. Since 2016, I've taken on leadership roles, building and guiding the Engineering team, supervising Engineering tasks, and coordinating with other departments (e.g., Production, Design, Art, Animation, Effects, Lighting, Audio, etc).
