Skillsets:
C++ Programmer, Blueprint Scripter, VR
- 6 years experience shipping Android/iOS apps as Lead Mobile Engineer at multiple startups
- 6 years C++ development experience, first as a gameplay programmer in a contract capacity building various VR games (including Twin Peaks VR), then at SpaceX writing the embedded software for the Starlink User Terminals, and most recently building 3D graphics tooling (as well as custom UE5 builds, plugins, and proprietary integrations) for Lightstorm Entertainment (production studio for James Cameron’s Avatar movies).
- Production has wrapped on the third movie and the company is going on hiatus, so I am very much free to work now! Gameplay programming is my passion and I hope there is room for me to join up with one of you talented people in the Unreal community on a game project.
Previous Work:
- Avatar: Fire and Ash (Senior Software Engineer)
- Avatar: The Way of Water (Senior Software Engineer)
- Twin Peaks VR (Gameplay Programmer)
