About Me

I'm an ever-curious software engineer, with over a decade of experience, specializing in back-end, front-end and full-stack development projects, coding, and product development for a global client base.

Currently, I am working with GlobalLogic – where I serve as a part of a small offshore team of people developing distributed systems for our client in the US. As a part of this role, I’ve gained an extensive experience managing remote teams and resources and overseeing projects from design to production. I’ve leveraged a number of different methodologies and processes including Agile, Scrum, and Test-Driven Development (TDD).

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a strong interest in computers and tech. As a result, my hobbies are either directly or indirectly relatable to my professional career. I’m active on GitHub, where I am often developing open-source code for various projects as a hobby. I’ve co-authored a few libraries for gamedev, the modding community, as well as systems programming for more efficient processing.

Additionally, I have created libraries and tools that simplify the development process under C/C++ language, such as zpl, zpl.librg or zpl.tester.

My experience also includes working on a futuristic deathmatch arena game, NEON SLAYER, and a couple of multi-player modifications. Including one named Mafia Oakwood, which offers online experience with player generated content within the game.

One theme that runs throughout my projects has been to help solve for and reduce the complexities of any system. Whether it is setting up and managing the flow of game systems, crafting elegant code, or removing redundancies or unnecessary pieces – I’ve always tried to push the boundaries of simplicity and minimalism.
