Matchmaking System and AI

While at Motiga I revamped their matchmaking system, adopting and tweaking a belief system based matchmaking algorithm to accommodate their needs, there was also a machine learning component that would analyze players performance in matches with different heroes to attempt to better place them into skill brackets.

VR Breast Cancer Medical Visualizer

This project was around creating a medical visualizer for a new form of breast cancer scanning aimed at catching breast cancer earlier.

Initial proof of concept and R&D was first done in Unity, then Unreal and ultimately ended up being an approach rolled from scratch using Qt, OpenGL, OpenCL and C++.

MVP proof of concept and Prototype to secure funding for early stage geo-location based startup

This is still under cover although the project ran out of funding and was disbanded. I created an early prototype to demonstrate a proof of concept and MVP of a business based around geo location social interaction. Started as a contractor and went on after helping them secure funding to become CTO and architect the platform.

Order / Catalog subsystem design and implementation

This was a set of micro services that handled sending catalog data and current regional and timed sales to the client as well as facilitating transactions of currencies on accounts for items with a robust receipt mechanism, analytics system, and integration with XboxLive, WindowsLive, Arc.

Game hosting service and tiered auto scale mechanism for game hosts

This was a zookeeper and webservice based approach to gameserver management which had the ability to automatically scale into different tiers (local, cloud) based on resource usage and a tier cost heuristic. The web service managed the full life-cycle of game hosts.

Arc and Xbox platform integration

Was Architect and implemented platform services in a way that was player platform agnostic as well as secure between services and flexible enough to seamlessly host matches cross services. This was a mix of careful data design and good library and service encapsulation.

Extensible and Flexible Microservice Platform Archetecture

At Motiga I helped Architect and Grow various parts and systems of a Micro Service oriented platform with Isolated service implementations and minimal shared libs with clear separation of data requirements and ownership of said data.

Concurrent persistent connection push capable context service for clients

This was a centralized context server for clients that allowed push notifications to the client over a persistent connection as well as lightweight request response and longer term request response patterns between the client and platform as well as dealing with connection interruptions.

Client agnostic party system

Designed and developed a robust distributed party system implementation for Motiga that abstracted the client specific (Xbox, Arc, Win10) details away from the platform and server. The system maintained parity with all features used from Xbox Live's Multiplayer Session Document based party system.

PostgreSQL player data sharding with zero downtime migration and topology changes

PostgreSQL based solution to player data sharding. Optimized for frequent writes and supporting a modular schema-less data scheme this architectures supported migrations and topology changes with 0 down time.

Backend and Front end Architecture feature development for undercover location based startup

This project is still under wrap's although funding for it ran out. Managed a team of 5 remote developers and maintained oversight over feature development, implementation, as well as made all tech decisions for the company. Contributed heavily to the code base and infrastructure.

RT-SLAM

Was Hired for a quick Contract C++ position at Luma Pictures (Studio that helped with Prometheus, The Avengers, Latest Underworld...) To Help Debug and Possibly Modify the RT-SLAM Library for utilization in real time scene tracking.
