Major: Computer Science
Related Coursework: C++, C#, Java, Algorithms, Data Structures, Video Game Design, Computer Graphics, Artificial Intelligence
Accomplishments: Secretary and Vice President of ACM one year each. Won Student Showcase for Computer Science my senior year for my work in Game Engine Architecture.

Echo VR (2018-) - Zero-G ultimate frisbee and Zero-G Shooter.
DeFormers Tencent (2017-2018) - Physics-Based Battle Game. Most elements of game needed to be revamped for localization, from main menu, to HUD.
Embers of War(2016-2017) - Tower Defense game in Unreal Engine 4. I collaborated very closely with design to create most UI systems, as there wasn't a dedicated UI Designer.
CV Baseball (2015-2016) - First professional job. My initial job was to implement a way to import card data, and to implement matchmaking, but my role has expanded to include gameplay, UI animation and programming (from artist mockup), and all multiplayer.
Firestorm Engine (2015) - Game Engine Architecture project for Independent Study. Studied game engines, and reproduced a very basic game engine with the purposes of understanding how engines are put together, and building an understandable example for students and programmers wanting to get into game development.
Ocean Simulation (2014) - Computer Graphics project. Built on the work of Jerry Tessendorf. Implemented in Unity
Intergalactic Looby (2014) - Project for my Software Engineering class. We were tasked with finding a client and making a product for them. There was a small mobile game studio that we know, who asked us to work on a project they didn’t have time for. See job entry below for what I specifically worked on.

Actual Technologies - OpenGL, SDL, SFML, XNA/Monogame, Unity3D, Unreal Engine
Languages - C++, C#, Java, Python
General Skill Areas - Procedural Generation, Computer Graphics, Simulation, Engine Architecture, Artificial Intelligence

Lots of public speaking experience. I try to seek out opportunities to speak.
Experience explaining Computer Science concepts to both beginners and non-programmers
I like to keep my skills diverse enough to be able to communicate with any member of a team, rather than just the programmers.

First UI Programmer at RAD
Developed paradigms for creating and interacting with UI in both console and VR
Maintained and extended two proprietary UI Backends
Deformers - Found easy-win areas where UI Code and Design could be vastly improved
Deformers - Ensured UI Code worked regardless of localization
Echo VR - Implemented various VR-touch-based UI Elements
Echo VR - Developed interfaces for design team to easily customize UI Code
Echo VR - Drastically revamped several systems where needed
Echo VR - Worked toward a high comfort standard with all UI

UI Systems - Interface into AbilitySystem, Cooldown Widget, Wheel-based Selection Widget, Animated Spawn Timer, Controller-based Input System
Backend Systems - Save Games, User Profiles, Options Menu, Metagame Progression Systems
UI Engineering/Design - Worked with Lead Artist and Creative Director to build UI Design, Managed UI Artist contractors for last stretch of project.

Worked with Synaptic Switch both as part of a school project, then as a summer intern, helping them build a game based on Temple Run for a client. Worked on a team of 3 remotely.
Implemented Movement Controls for basic running, jumping, grinding on rails, sliding and flying.
Met weekly and monthly milestones

Exhibited solid understanding of core concepts in computer science
Explained core concepts to beginning computer science students of many skill levels, including non-CS majors.
Tutored students in both a one-on-one setting and a classroom lab-based setting
