Implemented custom systems including: A* pathfinding, enemy AI state machines, a 2D map maker tool, a 3D lightmap editor, a separate custom-built server-side application and MySQL database, a custom encrypted secure TCP networking infrastructure, a custom command system and tree traversal to save and rollback/roll forward through game state, and an asynchronous file save/load/reading system that runs in the background and handles concurrency issues automatically while also supporting custom callbacks at certain key points

Directed a team of artists and freelancers to create custom content for the project

Contributed to the mainline application by adding numerous features to the main platform, improving the efficiency of legacy code, and handling a myriad of bugs

Created custom tools with both Python and PowerShell to handle extremely large and redundant tasks that were being done by hand prior, along with creating a standalone C# server on an AWS EC2 instance to serve up this newly parsed data to a custom integration I developed

Interfaced with other companies and led intra-company meetings and internal development efforts to integrate their 3rd party API’s and tools into our own application via custom plugins

Traveled across the country, and internationally, for engagements where I interfaced with customers, offered on-site support, and developed performance and bug-resolution hotfixes in response to customer feedback

Facilitated the establishment of security infrastructure, debugged problematic software using Python, improved network performance in-office, and assisted in disaster recovery - malware and ransomware, specifically

Covered topics ranging from basic abstraction/encapsulation, input management, basic enemy AI, and file serialization/de-serialization, to more advanced topics including graph traversal algorithms and collision detection
