2014 - PRESENTNope Enterprises, LLC- Developed the prototype for a Blueprints to C++ compiler plugin for Unreal Engine 4. This required development of an editor interface and code to read internal Blueprint data structures and translate them into high-quality C++ code.
- Built the prototype for a scripting plugin for Unreal Engine 4 to support scripting using .NET, C#, and F#. Implemented the plugin using C++ to host the .NET runtime and integrate systems like garbage collection, reflection, and Blueprints support.
- Developed the prototype for a JavaScript scripting plugin, using Google's V8 JavaScript engine.
- Built a trading system using AI (Hidden Markov Models) and used data from Interactive Brokers to test it.
- Created a server-based trading platform, using C++ to implement the server and Web Toolkit (http://www.webtoolkit.eu) and QuickFix for pricing and order placement.
- Developed a custom charting and trading desktop application, written in C# and .NET using WinForms. This was a full trading platform that included charting, indicators, and custom scripting, and supported multiple brokers through their APIs.

Employment
Experience
- Blueprints to C++ Compiler for Unreal Engine 4
The Blueprint to C++ compiler plugin gives Blueprint developers a tool for translating their code to C++ during development. The tool provides these benefits for developers:
1. Prototyping game code for development.
2. Learning C++ by writing Blueprints and reading the translated code.
3. Improving performance during game development. - C# and .NET Scripting for Unreal Engine 4https://ue4dotnet.github.io/api/index.html
UE4DotNet is a plugin that supports scripting using any .NET language, including C# and F#. It's currently in early alpha and supports only UE4 4.21 and .NET Core 3. Future versions will support later versions of UE4 and .NET 5.
- Network Input and Output Monitors
The input and output (IO) monitors use the Unreal Engine 4 editor widget to monitor network I/O for the Unreal Engine DMX plugin that's shipped with Unreal Engine 4.26.
The Digital Multiplex (DMX) plugin implements the DMX512 protocol, which is used to control stage lighting and effects for concerts and other staged shows. The plugin is part of Epic Games support for the use of Unreal Engine 4 in non-game environments.
The input and output monitors are intended for testing and debugging during the setup of the stage show. They provide low-level views of data coming from light fixtures and other DMX devices as well as commands sent to those devices. The monitors are implemented using the Slate UI Framework, which is UE4's C++ UI framework.
