Bachelors Degree: Real Time Interactive Simulation
* Worked in teams to develop 6 games from inception through final playable
* Managed a code base consisting of many thousands of lines of code that was
constantly being modified by multiple team members
* Created physics engines capable of networked 3D movement, collision detection
and collision response
* Implemented 3D graphic techniques such as quaternions, 3D-2D projection,
clipping, culling, perspective corrected texture mapping, lighting, BSP trees,
octrees, ray casting, reflection, refraction, opacity, and shadows
* A.I. programming with state machines, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, neural
networks, and various forms of path finding such as A*
* TCP/IP networking, including game synchronization
* Project design, organization, and timeline planning to make sure that
everything important gets done, on time, and on budget
