      Game Programmer

      Used various game engines to create content for multiple shipped titles. Focus on AI Programming, Combat, and Collections. I was a key team member on 2D and 3D titles to ship 16 high quality games. Also was part of proposal efforts which included design, prototyping, and documentation. Led several 2D teams through entire game cycle and shipped all on time and once 3 weeks early. Lead position included meeting all technical documentation deadlines, including initial risk assessment. I have strong leadership skills and the ability to keep my eye on the big picture. I enjoy helping a team reach its' goal and doing whatever it takes to keep everyone productive by offering help when needed. I have the ability to work with all aspects of a team: art, programming, design, test, management, etc. I have excellent communication skills and can speak across departments to increase understanding and reduce conflict.
