Work History

Freelance Game Programmer/Co-Designer

Avant Games
01.2022 - 05.2023
  • In this position I tackled learning coding a VR game in Unity for the first time from scratch. My college knowledge wasn't related to VR work but I worked hard on the job to learn over time each piece of the system and became completely comfortable coding for VR much quicker than I expected!
  • I was responsible for implementing many different gameplay mechanics, some with much effort starting from zero without references available. As well as responsible for testing, aiding in design work, documentation, and creating special effects.
  • Specifically relevant to the position I'm applying for here, I learned a lot about the Unity Profiler, and how to use it to see where congestion was occurring with the limited hardware in VR.

Independent Projects

Solo Game Project:

  • This project has made me much more familiar with the game development process from scratch, working with a new game engine, and creating progress reports for investors.
  • Required my own scheduling, setting self deadlines, understanding how I work most efficiently, and understanding when to learn via research versus when to learn via trial and error.
