Passionate about learning and growing as a software engineer and architect with a focus on delivering high quality and maintainable software.

Software Engineer @ From April 2015 to Present (9 months) Software Engineer 3 @ Graphics engineer working on unannounced game: - Worked on terrain rendering using models instead of height maps. Did this since the models could provide better usage of triangle budget then a generic height map and provide overhangs and bridges that integrated better with the terrain. - Implemented gradient map textures to reduce the number of textures that needed to be sampled by the terrain, which improved the performance of the terrain on the GPU. - Modified the terrain pipeline to cut the terrain mesh into smaller chunks that the runtime would load. This allowed the CPU to cull out large areas of the terrain. - Optimized the shadow rendering pass by rejecting objects that would not have shadows visible in the camera frustum. - Wrote technical documentation about various features in a game engine that describe the performance on the CPU and GPU, memory impact, and potential download file sizes of the features. This allowed the designers and art director to know the constraints they needed to work within.
