My Role

I have been a senior developer on the Virtuosi project for four (4) years, which was about one year after the project's inception. In that time I have had the opportunity to help set the standard of quality, and guide the growth of Virtuosi. My role in this project has encompassed many responsibilities over the years, namely:

• Development of several simultaneous VR projects

• Coordinating with subject matter experts and product management to hone the VR training effectiveness

• Building core code systems and tools

• Quality assurance testing and documentation

• Providing tech support to clients and our support staff

• Conducting technical interviews

• Mentoring other senior, mid-level, and junior developers

• Voice acting...terribly, as placeholder until our localization team provided the final assets

 

Some of my proudest mentoring activities include:

• Pair-programmed, delegated tasks, and performed code reviews of my co-workers' output

• Established coding and commit/pull-request standards adopted company-wide

• Trained developers on core code systems, as well as our development and testing pipeline

​

Some of my favorite core system creations include:

• Expanded XR device support to use Unity's XR Plugin framework and new Input System

• Streamlined localization and tooling for faster project delivery

• Built WiX Installer bundle saving days of effort and debugging, and improving the client experience during installs at client sites

• Ground-up build of frame-perfect deterministic VR demo recording/playback tools to significantly cut down on demo debugging time

• Built rapid-prototype framework for interactive demos wherein users switch between viewing a short VR demo recording, and performing the action they just watched

• Ground-up build of liquid management systems and tools, as well as improved rendering in Unity's standard and scriptable render pipelines for faster delivery of projects requiring unique liquid interactions
