Summary

Software Engineer, with 11 years of experience in the software industry working with agile and traditional methodologies for software development, managing medium-size teams of developers and QAs. Current student of the second year of a MS in Computer Science. In addition, I have wide experience designing and teaching software engineering courses in graduate and undergraduate levels.

Academic Projects

Sep 2015 – Present MJEngine Engine Programmer
This is the result of a series of smaller projects, integrated using software architecture to build a game engine.
All implemented with C++, OpenGL and GLSL. The following are the most outstanding contributions:
● Implemented advanced mathematical structures and operations such as quaternions, vqs and vqm, allowing data compacting to make the 3D transformations being computed faster than using matrices.
● Created an Animation API, using the engine own data structures to import data from FBX SDK, that allows to create hierarchical models which combined with advanced animation and interpolation algorithms, such as forward and inverse kinematics and spherical interpolation or splines generators, allow programmers to create interesting character animations.
● Created a Graphics API, using advanced algorithms such as BRDF, Exponential Shadow Maps, IBL, including programming techniques using OpenGL which improve the amount of objects that can be shown in the scene.
● Created a solid game object and component architecture, including an automation tool (plug-in in C# for visual studio) to make it easy to create and edit objects and components. (Engine – IDE integration)

Sep 2015 – Dec 2015 The Adventure of a Cat Producer and Game Programmer
Team of 4 people. Game created in C++ and OpenGL; published in DigiPen Game Gallery (See Works page)
● Created a level management system to create and maintain levels easy and quickly, allowing the game designer to test the game with many puzzle levels among prototypes and final versions.
● Implemented the Camera, Object Management systems and Graphics algorithms in the 3D Game Engine, contributing to the creation of nice visual effects among animations and particle systems.
