| Summary: | 12 years of experience in very different areas of software development, with a bias to (love for) 3D and game development. All projects above except my current job at RedTribe where done as contract work. In the beginning as single freelancer, later over my company Bouncing Bytes, which I have left by 2008 to concentrate on a career in the game industry. Until now, I have 2 game titles on my belt: Gameplay programmer for The Show, a PC RTS by Sixteen Tons Entertainment. Then game engine development and optimization for Space Chimps the game, a classic platformer for Xbox360, Wii and PS2 by RedTribe. My strengths are my broad range of experience with all kinds of software development and architectures. I am interested in working on basics like libraries, engines, development processes, team dynamics and project management. My next career goal is a technical lead position (which I already had in non game related projects). |
