Graphics lead and core engineer for amorphous VR project (shooter game) from pre-production to post-production.

• Collaborated with in-house graphics, network, and input-engine teams to align on technical needs and constraints, continuously integrate features into R&D project, build scalable workflows for creatives, and triage regressions as necessary.
• Organized biweekly feedback sessions which converted multidisciplinary pain into actionable tool and process improvements. One tool improved art / design "productivity by at least 2x" and made render perf measurable, iterable, and regression-testable.
• Led cross-functional perf analysis, budgeting, and optimization planning. Exploited low-level GPU architecture to increase 2D UI compositing CPU perf 100x+ while improving visual fidelity and incorporating novel motion-sickness-reduction techniques.
• Arranged agile team-building activities to end months of product instability, rewrites, and unsustainable engineering habits. Tasked rearchitecture to improve scalability, security, velocity, and UX. We were considered 1 year ahead of other teams.
• Designed 3D HUD, ground-ribbon navigation UX, CSG reticles and indicators, mesh slicer for overdraw reduction, ability system, outline renderer, paletting / map-variation workflows, image processing (SDF, atlas), render orderer, LOD system, and many VFX.
• Slashed Unity code iteration times >26x (7m+ to 16s) with a custom Android Package (APK) patcher and deployer.

Led stability initiative which ended months of live streaming site outages and matured the team in time for Beam's award-winning beta launch at TechCrunch Disrupt New York 2016, growth hockey-stick, and post-acquisition scaling at Microsoft.

Matured legacy identity / ACL system from unmaintainable and frequently regressing to exhaustively documented and tested with 100% path coverage. Migrated all users to Microsoft SSO with 0 bugs and 300k Day 1 CCU spanning Win10 / Xbox / Mobile / Web.

Collaborations spanned distributed chat and notifications with Node / Redis, localization, billing with Stripe and Braintree, access tokens and permission-grants, video ingest / distribution / player analytics, evangelizing test culture, customer service backend integrations, Dockerizing stack, analytics dashboards with Grafana / InfluxDB, geo-blocking, and a community-building system.

Led a small team of 4 hobbyists, shipping League of Legends add-on tool to hundreds of thousands of players and content creators. Hacked-in and aided official colorblind support. Reversed network protocols, patcher, and asset formats, wrote DLL injector for I/O hijack & render overlays, xplat multiprocess, and deployment & monitoring with C++ / C# / DirectX / D3D / IDA / LAMP / MVC.

Deployed LoL's largest community wiki, led projects, and built sales decks, culminating in numerous successful pitches, team transition to AzubuTV, and disaster-relief charity tournament with in-map overlays 'Powered by Dargon'.

Combined B.S. / M.S. in Computer Engineering
