Alligori

My role

As Lead Unity Developer for Alligori, I played a crucial role in overseeing and contributing to the game's development. My responsibilities included UI implementation, the integration of Photon Unity Networking, and other core gameplay systems. Through regular meetings with leadership, I ensured the project's timely progress and maintained its strategic direction. Guiding the programming team, I successfully delegated tasks according to team members' strengths. Amongst my various responsibilities, I personally authored several CG Program Shaders for the SRP project, ensured optimization of PUN networking, established framework for UI, and enhanced and polished the main character controller.

Snapback

My role

During the production of Snapback, I served as the Lead Programmer. I had the privilege to work closely with the art and design teams to implement all gameplay features with the assistance of my team. I implemented all core gameplay mechanics and UI. I assisted the backend programmer with creating developer tools, AI, and other integrations such as Steamworks and stand-alone achievement systems. It was my primary job to ensure all deadlines were met and to manage production priorities amongst myself and my team to ensure quality code throughout all levels of the project. I was also in charge of eliminating bugs and ensuring quality user experience.

Tournament of Tamers

My role

I was brought on to the Buh! Gaming team during open beta testing to help troubleshoot and mitigate long-standing bugs, improve performance, and aid in the continued development of Tournament of Tamers. During my tenure as a Unity Developer, I have fixed several bugs, significantly improved performance, and designed and implemented multiple features to enhance and better balance gameplay. Due to my expertise, the minimum requirements for playing Tournament of Tamers was able to be reduced to less powerful hardware. I designed multiple new systems, including a system to vote to start the game early for all multiplayer modes. In order to help balance gameplay, I enhanced the bounty system to include logic to calculate and reward players who assisted in kills. Optimization and troubleshooting continue to be my primary function, ranging from graphical bugs with shader implementation to performance enhancements, AI logic, and UI improvements.

Escape from Hell

My role

Escape from Hell was a small student project developed by myself and three other WTCC students for the East Coast Gaming Conference game jam. It was developed based on a simple concept, and while the game design is not one that I agreed with, it was my duty to facilitate the implementation of all gameplay mechanics. I delegated the creation of the minigames to my assistant programmer and focused on the main board mechanic and UI implementation. Acting as the Lead Programmer and Tech Artist, I am proud of the engaging user interface and other VFX that were achieved.

Eden Falling

My role

During my time at Razor Edge games, I was the primary contributor in creating multiple backend tools to aid the design team in delivering content to the game. I assisted in the implementation of various UI elements. I collaborated heavily with the design team via weekly meetings to ensure that the creation of the tools was both benefiting the design team and created in an efficient and scalable way. This tool heavily involved creating and managing MySQL databases while also handling XML file IO, parsing, and editing. During this time, the game was undergoing an interface overhaul, which I assisted in by updating assets, and modifying UI functionality to fit the vision of the design team.

Robactory

My role

Robactory was a proof-of-concept game that always remained in early access development. It has many helpful backend integrations, complete with its own launcher and modding system. It was a personal project where I was the sole programmer. While it is not a great example of game design and far from a polished game, the tools I created to assist with game development are robust and demonstrative of my .NET and IO skills. Chiefly, the launcher keeps the game up-to-date and handles the loading of mods for the game.
