Employment
Experience
- StockFit: Long Term Investment, Simplified
Developed a React Native and Expo-based mobile app to support long-term investors in the stock market. I built the entire tech stack from back to front.
The back end is written in Node.js and uses an express server and a WebSockets server. It is fully hosted in AWS. - Assassin's Creed Identityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybZ_obTv5Vk&ab_channel=Ubisoft
Developed for a Unity3D based Assassin's Creed game that I worked on as the back-end developer.
My responsibilities were developing the database structure and implementing the entire client-server communication system. I also created multiple smaller tools that increased development and testing efficiency. - Jade: Game Asset Creation Tool for Artists
This project was started by me at Machine Zone and written in C++ using Qt. The task of the tool was to allow artists to view and edit game assets of many different kinds (maps, 3D assets, and UI screens). It was tailored towards Machine Zones' internal proprietary game engine. All features were developed in close coordination with the artists using the tool, which allowed us to increase their efficiency significantly.
I also hired and mentored multiple team members for this project.
