  October 2017 - September 2022

  I was initially contracted as the sole developer on a prototype project (new IP) to be built using Unreal Engine 4. I was responsible for prototype gameplay systems, class designs, and writing framework code in C++ and Blueprint script.

  As the project and team was built out, I transitioned to the role of principal artist, contributing to the project's look/style development and creating scenes, meshes, textures, and material assets.

  Later, I shifted into the role of technical lead, where I built tools, documentation, and training resources to assist with workflow development, skill development, and testing procedures.

  Additionally, I supported the company's management and operations by advising on best practices and strategic challenges.

  I worked with the Black Mesa mod team (now incorporated as Crowbar Collective) off and on since 2005. I contributed to the project as a level designer, artist, and two interim lead roles (lead level designer and project lead).

  The entire project involved collaboration with a worldwide team of over 40 developers, all working remotely.

  I created style guides and standards, and built and optimized detailed environments in the Source engine.

  For the final version of the game released in 2020, I created many 2d/3d assets and performed art passes on blockout levels created by the designers. I also worked on art for the "Surface Tension Uncut" updates which added new levels to the game.
