A photo of me.

I am a C++ programmer with over a decade of experience working with a variety of in-house and publicly available game engines.

I have experience shipping products for console and PC, as well as several years of experience working on live service games.

I consider myself a generalist through and through; a tested and proven jack-of-all-trades.

I have a wide range of skills.

Just to name a few...

 

In my combined 10 years at Ubisoft I have had the opportunity to work alongside co-development studios around the world on-site, hybrid, and fully remote.
I am a strong communicator regardless of the organizational structure.

My background in client support is at the core of my working philosophy and I often find myself bridging the gaps between systems and teams. I pride myself on my reputation for being a pillar for my colleagues, as well as a pragmatic and effective developer of robust gameplay systems.
