Gameplay Programmer at Insomniac Games

Worked on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 where I: - Created a new boss from design requirements and then continued to iterate on the boss to find the fun using limited resources from other departments. This resulted in a boss that consistently rated well in playtests. - Collaborated heavily with design to create an entire faction of enemies. Iterated quickly to propose and create mechanics to provide a cohesive identity for the faction. - Extended and added new features to our new combo and react graph system which enables non-programmers to create and modify our AI behavior in a visual and data driven way. - Ported our basic criminal enemies from older games to use the new combo and react graph system. - Investigated and resolved bugs throughout development in multiple different systems throughout our codebase. Worked on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales where I: - Joined the game team late in development and became a force multiplier on the AI team to get The Underground faction to a shippable quality for an on-time release. - Dove into systems inside and outside my areas of ownership to resolve bugs within the game. Worked on Stormland where I: - Worked with artists and designers to design, implement, and support several combat mechanics (maser arm and lightning arm), weapons (grenade launcher and shotgun), and 3D diegetic UI elements (multiplayer menu and map) for use in a VR game. - Resolved bugs in my areas of ownership to get the game to a shippable quality in time for release
