Hi everyone, my name is Jared and I’ve been with the community for about 6 years now and I’ve been developing games for 10 years. Growth has slowed recently at my company, so I’m looking for full-time, part-time, or contract work other community members may be able to offer. Whether you need work done or need guidance on how to do something or want to learn the engine or game development in general, I can help!
You may recognize my name around the forums, as an engine contributor, marketplace seller or as the author of the UE4 version of iTween.
For the past five years I have been working as a Technical Lead to consult clients on product and manage our own automated testing product. My team is distributed and agile, working with Git, python, Jenkins, Javascript, C# and Java.
In my free time I work on various contracts for game development houses big and small to produce rapid prototypes or do commissions, usually in animation or subsystem programming/microservices in C++. As a bonus, I have my own face & body motion capture setup.
As a person who’s been using Unreal Engine for 6 years, I am confident with all aspects of it from the animation system to developing productivity plugins in C++. When I was fresh out of university, my friends and I had a porting-house startup in which we ported code projects from one language to another (such as python >> C++ or Javascript to .NET).
