Hands-on software architect building and managing a team of full-stack developers making next-gen web applications.

I founded Union25 LLC to develop applications that blur the lines between native and web-based technology stacks. My goal is to deliver applications that don’t compromise on quality by using tools and technologies that allow for rapid development without any unnecessary overhead.

Moved to Vigil Games to continue and grow the processes that were developed at Kaos. In addition to production, I’m also responsible for studio operations including HR, finance, IT, and recruiting. At its peak, the operations team supported 250 employees.

Hired by Kaos to get Homefront back on track after a successful E3 reveal. After some initial discovery defined and executed a plan to develop a predictable road map to project completion. Steps included hybrid waterfall / agile process definitions, management training and mentoring, identifying and hiring for key positions, growing overall Manhattan production capacity, and augmenting additional development support from Montreal and Los Angeles. In addition to my production duties, I also managed the finance and IT departments.

I joined EA Tiburon as a Franchise Development Director for the NASCAR and Tiger Woods franchises. Over the years I was involved in all the titles at Tiburon in some way but mostly focused on NASCAR and Tiger Woods. I was directly responsible for Tiburon's first simultaneous X360 and PS3 release. Over the years my duties covered a wide range including team leadership, external developer diligence and new sports IP identification.

Genuine Games was a privately owned studio that I formed with two business partners. My role was Development Director and CTO. My duties included hiring the best and brightest to build our games, capacity planning, risk identification, and risk mitigation, publisher relations, project acquisition, scheduling, and defining and executing our studio development processes.

Joined BlackOps as a Lead Programmer to develop Knockout Kings 2000 for the N64. Lead a team of 20+ developers through all phases of the project life cycle. During Knockout Kings 2000 I was promoted to Development Director in addition to my Lead Programmer duties. I was also responsible for developing BlackOps first PS2 & Xbox titles and became the studio CTO.

Acquired deep knowledge of the N64 hardware and toolsets. Used SGI Unix development machines and toolsets. Lead a team of 15+ developers to deliver Software Creation's first FIFA title for EA. The success of this title became the foundation for several other projects being placed at Software Creations from EA.

Wrote and developed all engine and toolsets using MC68000 for games listed. As an independent developer, I also secured publishing deals with Europress, Team 17, and Probe Software. I was also responsible for business administration such as year-end tax submissions, quarterly VAT submissions, and financial planning.

Developed engine, tools, and music drivers using MC68000 assembly language for all the ST / Amiga games listed. My other duties included the Software Development manager which involved managing other programmers and updating our publishers with project status.
