Kaneva - Patcher • Maintained our mmo’s patcher.
2 Motorola Internships • Developed a 3D avatar manipulation library for Motorola 3D avatar technology. • Developed xml based scripting language and parser for Motorola User Interface development. Wrote code in C#, C++, and Java
Motorola Example Work Visual Face recognition for 3D Avatar Kiosk
Personal Projects • I have done my own hobby games and demos for various platforms. • Platforms include, PC, iPhone, Playstation, Nintendo DS, Cell Phones, and Gameboy Advance
Sushi Ninja Work • Lead Programmer / Project Manager • Wrote all the Gameplay code using the Unity3D game engine • Wrote the foundational Design Documentation • Contracted and Managed Artists • Benched marked and profiled game on the iPhone.
QoobTris • A 3D Tetris game with a twist.
QoobTris Work • I wrote more than 80% of the code and architected the engine from scratch. • QoobTris utilizes the DirectX 9.0a API • Integrated Lua for game play scripting and expoused much of the engine to Lua. • Integrated Flash into engine for game menus • Developed a HUD scripting system for artists to easily plugin their assets. • Uses tinyxml for configuration scripts • Developed my own Particle Engine.
SDL_Sprite and SDL_Font Libraries • Developed 2 popular C++ libraries for the SDL game engine API. • SDL_Sprite enables developers to use animated sprite sheets in their game with only a few lines of code. • SDL_Font enables developers to use bitmap fonts in their game with only a few lines of code.
SDL_Sprite and SDL_Font Libraries Demos Ported libraries and demos to the Playstation Portable game console.
Mather – C# Lite-Weight Linear Algebra Library • I developed Mather as an alternative for those who were interested in using vector/matrix calculations in C# without using the heavy weight DirectX api. • Mather is an open source freeware library that is portable to Windows Mobile cell phone devices. • Mather comes with utility functions that do many useful things such as detecting if a point is within 2 vectors.
Flash / ActionScript Projects • I mostly use Flash for prototyping game designs and theories before implementing them in C++. • However I have written a couple of games in ActionScript along side several theoretical demos.
Flash AI Node Navigation Graph • This demo allows a user to control a bot’s navigation by moving waypoints or nodes around the scene. • If the bot gets close to the red marker (the user’s mouse), it will chase it. Otherwiseit will go back to itspatrolling state. Written in ActionScript 3.0

Flash Dodger Game • This is a mini game where the player must dodge the rectangle obstacles and get the blue diamond to advance to the next level. Written in ActionScript 2.0
Various Other Flash Demos • I have written various other Flash demos including my own 3D engine and particle system. • I have also used other popularActionScript 3.0libraries likeSandy 3D andAPE. Written in ActionScript 3.0 & 2.0
