Recon Marksmanship is a dynamic training application I developed for TI Training, showcasing my expertise in UI development, C# programming, and application design. The program enables users to design custom training courses and environments through intuitive editors, offering powerful customization and flexibility. Each feature—from the logic-driven Course Editor to the versatile Player Controller—demonstrates a seamless integration of complex systems and user-friendly interfaces, creating a comprehensive training solution tailored to diverse needs.

Table Mountain Group LLC. has a unique mixed reality system which allows customers to use simulated firearms on a large projection screen for both training and recreational purposes. I was responsible for the development of over a fifteen Unity applications, enhancing both training and recreational experiences. My work ranged from creating a realistic virtual military range to developing an engaging zombie shooter. Collaborating with experts, I boosted content realism and optimized performance with clean, reusable C# code. I also developed a Leaderboard application and crafted several impressive AR game demos. This role honed my skills in gameplay programming, performance optimization, and teamwork, demonstrating my ability to deliver high-quality, immersive experiences.

Timber Creek

Timbercreek is an immersive game set in a western-style lumber town that I meticulously crafted using Blender. Developed in Unity, Timbercreek features multiple engaging game modes that highlight my expertise in level design, gameplay design, 3D modeling, sound design, animation, and particle system design. This project showcases my ability to create a rich, immersive environment and deliver a captivating player experience through detailed modeling, dynamic gameplay, and high-quality sound and animation.

Otte's Undertakers

Otte's Undertakers is an intense zombie game set in the western-style lumber town of Timbercreek. As zombies overrun the town, players must fight their way through, eliminating as many zombies as possible. Developed in Unity, this game showcases my talents in AI pathfinding, AI decision-making, level design, gameplay design, animation, and sound design. Otte's Undertakers highlights my ability to create engaging, action-packed gameplay and immersive environments, demonstrating my expertise in both technical and creative aspects of game development.

Jurassic Run

Jurassic Run is an exhilarating game where you sit in the back of a truck, navigating through a prehistoric environment teeming with dinosaurs. As you drive through this dangerous terrain, you must shoot your way to safety before the dinosaurs attack. The standout sound design, particularly the immersive and fear-inducing dinosaur roars, has made this game popular at trade shows. Jurassic Run highlights my talents in sound design, AI decision-making, and gameplay design, showcasing my ability to create intense and engaging gaming experiences.

We were initially going to call this game Jurassic Hunt. Until someone pointed out we should probably change it. Think about it...

Defensive Shooting Drills

Defensive Shooting Drills is a digital shooting sports application designed to enhance firearm handling and proficiency. In this immersive training experience, users navigate through various stages, shooting at targets to improve their skills. I developed this application using Unity, incorporating a robust course editor that enables the creation of additional courses post-release. This editor ensures continuous content updates, keeping the training dynamic and engaging. My work on this project highlights my expertise in Unity development, course design, and the creation of interactive training tools.

Bowling Deluxe

Bowling Deluxe is a fun and engaging game where you shoot a bowling ball down the lane to hit pins. A favorite in the office, this game highlights my skills in gameplay design and UI/UX design, creating a fun and intuitive experience. Developed in Unity, Bowling Deluxe showcases my ability to design enjoyable gameplay mechanics and user-friendly interfaces, making it a hit among players.

Wildwood is a city-builder available on Steam. I am proud to be its solo developer. This project required me to master numerous aspects of game development, including UI/UX design, gameplay design, AI decision-making, and more. Given the large number of objects in the game, I wrote highly efficient code and optimized performance with multithreaded workloads on both the CPU and GPU.

The procedural terrain generation utilizes GPU compute shaders for rapid, seamless creation as players navigate the world, while AI decision-making, including pathfinding algorithms, runs on separate CPU worker threads to enhance performance. I extensively leveraged the Unity Profiler to ensure maximum efficiency.

Additionally, I crafted complex material shaders in Shader Graph and HLSL for the skybox, trees, water, and crops, further enhancing the game's immersive quality. Wildwood stands as a testament to my passion for game development and my ability to take a complex project through the entire development lifecycle, from concept to release.
