Game developer and QA engineer
I've worked in games for over a decade: building features in Unity and Unreal, testing them, and setting up the pipelines that ship them. Below are prototypes and models I've made, next to the professional work they sit beside.
Studios and teams I've built and tested for.
QA Engineer, Build & Release
Built the company's first CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions and AWS for a Unity product. Ran Unity Test Runner from the CLI with results on weekly builds, and ranked code by CRAP score to decide what to test next. Saved about $13K in licensing and code-signing costs.
QA automation, Unreal Engine · contract via Apex Systems
C++ and Python validation tools for Unreal builds on PC and console, telemetry validation for 2K's online services, and performance benchmarks for memory, CPU and frame rate.
Test developer, game automation SDK · contract
Unity test harnesses built on the GameDriver SDK for iOS and Android, plus build-tool debugging for Unreal and Unity.
VR software engineer · Onward
Gameplay features in C# and Unity for the VR tactical shooter Onward. Profiled and fixed hot spots for a 15% runtime performance gain.
QA, VR creation tools · contract via Q Analysts
QA for Unity-based VR tools, including Google Blocks, which won the 2017 Unity Award for Best Non-game Project. C# test scripts and device test farms.
Earlier: QA at Vimeo, Flashtalking and High 5 Games.

A platformer prototype. The goal: make it through all 10 levels. It runs in the browser on itch.io.
The character evolution, ragdoll hit and collision bug clips below all come from building this game.
