I’m a game developer from New Hampshire, USA. I have experience leading software teams, designing and developing complex game systems, and working with various networking architectures.

I’ve run indie game development studios, developed college-level curriculum for game development programs, and consulted on autonomous vehicles and training simulation projects.

PROJECTS

JOB SIMULATOR

A tongue-in-cheek VR launch title for HTC Vive, Oculus Touch, and PlayStation VR.

Code Critic is a system for automatic feedback for programming assignments, but could be expanded into the programming review processes at any software company. Code Critic provides many benefits not found in other automatic code assessment systems, including methods for generating automatic feedback for students, insights for instructors, and the potential to be expanded to meet specific technological or logistical needs for individual universities or courses.

UCNetwork

Client-Server and P2P networking libraries for Unity

 Posted on January 1, 1  |  

These are the MIT Licensed networking libraries I developed for Unity, used for Upsilon Circuit as well as many other prototype projects.

Features:

  • Online multiplayer!
  • Real-time messaging and object synchronization for Unity3D
  • Authoritative, dedicated, and standalone server support
  • Support for clients with different codebases, and asymmetrical experiences
  • Message filtering based on logical “Areas”
  • Open world games, or simulations where clients are in different scenes
  • Networked object ownership transfer
