What I did

  • Led a team of 10+ programmers through technical decision-making, mentorship and code reviews, while directing cross-discipline collaboration between gameplay designers and programmers.
  • Architected the technical foundation for an online multiplayer open-world experience, building core networking systems and handling server hosting and CloudScript functions.
  • Resolved major performance and bandwidth bottlenecks through profiling, world partition streaming optimizations, netcode call reduction and stress-testing bots.
  • Created fully replicated gameplay systems including drivable vehicles, public transport networks, player and NPC locomotion, plus arcade and racing minigames.
  • Implemented social interaction features, including a friends system, replicated emojis/poses and spatial voice chat.
