S#arp Shooter

S#arp Shooter is a music-based first-person shooter VR game for the HTC Vive.

This game was made in the Unity 3D engine and designed specifically for the HTC Vive VR headset and controllers. S#arp Shooter makes use of a number of development tools and art assets from Unity, Valve, and the Asset Store. On this project, I was the sole engineer. As such, I designed and implemented numerous Unity C# scripts to handle all aspects of gameplay and interaction. In addition to writing code, I also designed level layouts, edited textures to fit the art style, and modified enemy animations.

The game has been in development since August 2nd, 2016 and will be available on Steam soon. It has also been selected as a finalist for an award in the Intel Game Developer Showcase at the Austin Game Conference and is awaiting final judging.

Jedi Trainer VR

I created Jedi Trainer VR as a tech-demo for the HTC Vive.

This application was made in the Unity 3D game engine and designed specifically for the HTC Vive VR headset and controllers. Jedi Trainer VR makes use of the Steam VR plugin library for Unity, the Leap Motion Toolkit in order to provide hand tracking when used with a Leap Motion Controller, and some Unity's built-in tools for creating virtual reality content. It contains free art and audio assets gathered from multiple sources. I performed all scaling and placement of objects, lights, and other elements in the scene, including ensuring that the lightsabers precisely matched the positions of the real-world controllers. In addition to managing the design of level itself, I also wrote custom Unity C# scripts to handle a variety of different game aspects, including the randomized movement of the training remote and reflection physics of blaster bolts when struck with the lightsaber.

The demo version was created in under a day and is available to download and try by clicking here or by going to Complex-Infinity.com.

Course Scheduler

I was the Project Lead and sole programmer of the Staff Analyzer Master Course Scheduler.

This application was intended to serve as an all-in-one alternative to the classic course scheduling that has to be done every year by schools. Normally this process is exceptionally slow, as it must be done entirely by hand; however, with this program, scheduling takes a tenth of the time and requires significantly less manpower. Due to of the level of automation, the program has the potential to detect scheduling conflicts dynamically as the user edited the page.
The estimated average annual benefit for one school district was the entire salary of a senior administrator.

With a unique and custom drag-and-drop interface, along with the ability to zoom and move panels around, I created a user experience that is simple, intuitive, and fast. Initially the application used the JQueryUI libraries; however, those were not optimized for the type of work required. After removing JQueryUI and writing a custom code implementation, I was able to drastically reduce the program's execution time, thus delivering a smoother, more seamless experience for the user.

MMPI-2 Score Calculator

This application was developed to combat the long grading times and inaccuracies created by the manual grading of a standardized psychology test. I was tasked with the challenge of digitizing the answer keys, creating an entry system for test responses, and then outputting the results in a single unified interface.

This product posed the challenges of complete software development, including requirements determination, system design, implementation, and distribution. I chose Java due to its ability to be run on any machine if hardware was upgraded or changed. Through communication and collaboration with the test administrators, I was able to design an interface that was simple to use and understand by all parties involved. I designed a user interface that accepted multiple types of input and included features such as export-to-file to speed up retesting and to keep a log of all graded tests. Finally, I implemented logic to instantaneously and accurately score the test.

Through this, I was able to create a program that increased test scoring speed by 1000% and all but eliminated human error from the scoring.

Staff Analyzer

Staff Analyzer is a program for school administrators to manage their staff assignments, course enrollments, and identify deficiencies in their campus's organization.

For this project I was a lead developer on a team of programmers, designers, and system administrators. Our mission was to take a pre-existing program and perform a complete overhaul of the system to make it more effective and efficient. I became our JavaScript expert and led a team responsible for many of the large changes to the website. We were tasked with a complete rewrite of the interface. I combated undocumented code, inefficient SQL queries, and broken links. My team and I created a single, unified web page that functioned properly and was visually pleasing.
