With over 3 years of AAA game development experience, and over 20 years of independent experience, I have a demonstrated passion for game development and software engineering. My experience ranges from AAA titles for next-gen platforms (Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC), to handheld (GBA, iPhone) and 8-bit microcontroller platforms. I typically work on gameplay/generalist tasks, but I also have experience in graphics, AI, audio, networking and multi-threading.
