Pacific Coast Skyway (Custom Engine)
Pacific Coast Skyway is a 3D racing game developed on the custom-built Tractor Factor Engine. Players
race along a twisty highway through islands suspended in the sky, jamming out to the beats of their
audio-powered classically-inspired hovercars in solo time trials and 2-player local head-to-head
competitive gameplay. Xbox 360 controller recommended.
My Role
I acted as the build master for my team, setting up code and asset repositories and handling other
project management responsibilities. My most important feature contribution was an in-depth and
well-documented Lua/C++ binding for all gameplay scripting and UI logic.
I also developed a Catmull-Rom spline implementation in C++ that we paired with a meshbuilder
to create the twisty highway racetrack. This exposed race progression data and let us iterate
on our track design quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the team's art efforts could be
devoted to the cars and scenery, as we didn't require track assets beyond a single texture.

Rekindled (Custom Engine)
Rekindled is a 2D puzzle-platforming game developed on the custom-built For Lease Engine. Players take
the role of a fox who must avoid and outsmart the corrupted denizens of the forest as they escort the
element of fire to the Spirit of the Forest in hopes of saving this cursed land.
My Role
I was the producer for my team, coordinating all aspects of development, heading presentation efforts,
and ensuring smooth internal and external communication. On the development side, we wrote both the
engine and game logic in pure C++. The other programmers and I coordinated design and development of
the core engine architecture. I wrote the 2D physics engine from scratch, built the menus, and
implemented the majority of the audio engine.
