Hi, I’m Charles Degrandpré, a soon to be software engineer passionate about video games, computer image generation and simulation. I enjoy operating cloud native applications and computer optimizations as well as discussing and learning about new designs, decisions and architectures.
I have hands-on experience across game development, tools like Unity/Unreal/Godot, and Python/Django for cloud-based apps and pipelines.
A self managed project consisting of a turn by turn tiled strategy game operating as part of a 3d environment.
The goal of this project was to tackle some of the issues I had observed with Civilization VI, a game by Firaxis Games, notably in regards to player simultaneous play within a multiplayer match as well as unequal starting positions for players while keeping what made the game fun, notably the customization of of game lobbies.
Developed a 3D multiplayer survival game using C# and the Unity engine. Created prefabs synchronized between servers and clients with RPCs and Commands. Built an autoscaling fleet of Google Cloud Platform servers with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform. Optimized game performance using the Unity profiler to meet targets. Collaborated in a team of 6 developers to implement client specifications.
Developed a Python/Django cybersecurity content analysis pipeline with associated tests. Deployed microservices in a Docker/OpenShift cloud architecture. Optimized remote API calls using Redis cache for pending and completed calls. Implemented a Locust-based load testing suite to verify API response times. Collaborated in a SCRUM/Agile team with developers, engineers, and analysts.
Developed a Python/Django application to manage internal company resources. Automated PostgreSQL database operations using daily scripts with unit tests (PyTest), integrity checks and robust Confluence documentation. Worked as part of a team tracking progress using Jira.
