Professional Projects
Software I've created as part of a professional team
Rogue Company Elite
Hi-Rez Studios (First Watch)
Unreleased
- Created a system with UE4's UMG to allow stat bars for weapons and mods to be combined and fine-tuned by design
- Wrote a Python script to automatically play matches unatended to try to catch a low repro-rate crash that occurred at the end of some matches
- Interface with Android and iOS API to display battery life
- Various gameplay bug fixes
- Unreal Engine 4 (and interaction between native c++ and blueprints)
- How to write good documentation and tooling for designers
- The challenges of testing in a mobile environment
- C++ and Unreal Engine 4
- A bit of Python
- Visual Studio, JIRA, Perforce
Paladins
Hi-Rez Studios (Evil Mojo)
More Details
- Azaan. This character is a tank with a multi-wall ability, and a teleport projectile ultimate with many animation states. For more details, click here!
- Vatu. This character has some technically cool abilities - a chain teleport, a two-press ultimate, and sticky bombs that adhere to surfaces (and will drop from shields). For more details, click here!
- Built (and improve!) new Trials of the Realm system. These quests are nested in sections that open up at certain time intervals each patch. I was the primary programmer for this system, so I programmed the UI components, progress tracking, unlock/in progress/lock states, and so forth. Details? Here.
- An automated script for setting up each patches' challenges for TotR. This helps save our designers time and prevent possible bugs.
- Investigate, debug, and fix crash reports from live clients
- Fix live exploits that allow players to cheat - including hacking items and using unreleased characters - and other bugs
- Unreal Engine!
- Accounting for latency in a client-server environment.
- Documentation is important to both make and consult.
- Dealing with legacy code in supporting a game that's several years old
- How to effectively communicate and work together with others in a remote office environment
- C++ and UnrealScipt for Unreal Engine 3
- A bit of SQL
- Visual Studio (using debugging tools more extensively than I have before)
- JIRA, Perforce
SEGA Heroes
Demiurge Studios
- Created an extensible server tool to refund accidental purchases
- Implemented abilities (in reusable pieces) and connected animations for 10 new characters (plus tweaked some old ones)
- Various bug fixes and non-character features (ex: additional UI features, JITT, more precise and fair energy regen)
- The importance of communication on a cross-discipline team. In particular, character animations required a lot of artist input
- Thoughtful design decisions in creating a new API that others will use and contribute to
- Working on a smaller team means more responsibility and owning more tasks (a good thing!)
- C#, Go, C++
- Perforce, Git, JIRA
- A whole lotta JSON
Buildpacks
Pivotal
- Developed a wide range of language buildpacks (Node, Dotnet, Ruby) for compiling various cloud-based apps
- Contributed to the implementation of the first prototype V3 buildpack
- Updated and debugged testing pipeline corresponding to new features
- Responded to community issues
- Pair programming professionally - how to verbalize ideas and listen to others'
- How to explain my work. We rotated pairs everyday, so ~50% of the time I had to explain the previous work to someone new to it
- Agile development - my first exposure to standups, postmortems, and sprints
- Go and a bit of Ruby
- Bash (a lot of experience using CLI's)
- Git, Slack, Pivotal Tracker, Concourse
