I am an experienced and knowledgeable Software Engineer that's worked with a wide variety of technologies and has a passion for game development. I have lots of experience in Software Development while I was at a Hewlett Packard. I worked there as a software engineer in the networking field, writing automated tests, developing tools and working on software features for Enterprise Switches. I also worked extensively learning game development, working on personal projects within Unity and Unreal. This led me the opportunity to work full-time on a passion project that turned into a startup at Hidden Leaf Games. For 3 years I helped grow and lead an engineering team to develop a complex MOBA game from concept to release. I did contribute heavily to the software during this time using C+, C#, Python and CI/CD. I built many different systems, worked in a wide variety of areas of the code. I built CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins to automate build processes. I worked on in game heros, objectives, and other features. I have worked integrating various features with our backend to support voice, telemetry and other features. I am looking for a challenging and engaging oportunity to utilize the various skills I have on my next big project.
Below is a list of some recent games, demos and proof of concepts that I have worked on recently.
Fangs was a online 3 vs 3 MOBA game where players faced off in an arena. The game was launched as a free to play game where it would be funded via cosmetic enhancments. You can see example of the gameplay via youtube reviews.

This was a proof of concept, that is a Vampire Survivors like game built in a 3d world. This game also supported networking and two player could play together.
This was a proof of concept where we developed an Overcooked style game but set in a world of figher fighters.
Fangs was a online 3 vs 3 MOBA game where players faced off in an arena. The game was launched as a free to play live service game where it would be funded via cosmetic enhancments. The game was launched but due to an insufficent number of players we shut the game down. You can see example of the gameplay via youtube reviews.
Over the 3+ years I worked on the project I worked on a wide variety of features including while also handling manager responsibilities. Below is a list of some of the features I worked on as well as some of the manager responsibilites.

The Dojo 3D Brotato/Vampire Survivors inspired proof of concept for a partner collaboration. I was responsible for everything that wasn't UI. Players played solo or with a friend to fight off waves of enemies. It incorporated network play as well as dashing and a special ability.

Fire Academy was another proof of concept we created to pitch for a partnership. The game is heavily inspired from overcooked, however players work together as firefighters to save people and put out fires. This game I handled everything was in game. The only things I really didnt do was the main menu and some of the design work. This project represents about 2-3 weeks of work that was done for this POC.
