Streamframe is a production management tool built primarily for the video games industry. I served as the CTO for the company and was instrumental in the design, development, launch, support, and management of the product and its development team. Streamframe was built on a traditional LAMP stack using a proprietary framework loosely derived from Laravel and operates on AWS where it makes heavy use of AWS's many features. To scale up further, we were transitioning away from the original monolithic architecture towards a service-oriented architecture. I designed the first micro-service to unload the heaviest task: the role-based fine-grained hierarchical permissions system.

Axon Runners was a mobile game built on Unity 3D for iOS. I built tools for the content creation pipeline, implemented and fine-tuned gameplay mechanics, integrated Facebook features, added push notifications via Urban Airship, and most critically, I resolved certain fatal bugs that endangered the release of the game. I also ported it to Android, Windows PCs, and even the Xbox 360, but these were never released. Finally, I took the graphic designer's PSD files and created a custom theme for WordPress that, to my great surprise, is still on display at the game's official website.

While serving as CTO at Streamline Studios, I assembled a team of C++ developers on short notice to assist Square Enix with the imminent release of Final Fantasy XV, however, I'm prohibited by NDA from describing our contributions in detail. Still, we had a lot of fun and spent some late nights in the office pushing for perfection and earned our place in the game's credits.

LinkRealms was a free-to-play MMORPG. It was developed independently with a small group of people mostly concentrated in my home state but had contributors from around the world. It was built in the style of Ultima Online and allowed players to own portions of the game world. I used Direct3D for graphics and my own custom Flow AI technology for creature behaviors, among other contributions. The game went offline in late 2017, but there are still some screenshots and whatnot at the link provided.

This is a generic container template class for C++. It provides a robust dynamic storage container for any supplied class or struct (Type). I regularly use this container in my projects. It is not dependent on the standard library but does use a couple of my other template classes which are not included in this file.

Features:
• Elements will never be relocated in memory as the container grows, allowing pointers to be taken and kept without fear of leaving them dangling.
• Element pointers/references can be quickly resolved to their container index.
• Elements can be freed while iterating over the container without funky loop mechanics (unlike Arrays and Stacks).
• Supports range-based for loops.
