My programming career over the last 11 years has often had me switching between wildly different sets of techonologies battling a vast variety of tasks and projects. Combined with my split developer-personality, this has formed me into someone highly adaptable to new frameworks, tool-sets and languages, while delivering professional quality.
By day I am a full-stack developer, leaning mostly toward React, Node.js and MongoDB, with basic competence in DevOps and continuous delivery. By night I am a game developer, utilizing either Unity, or this same stack, combined with various WebGL libraries.
I'm immensely passionate about interesing and innovative ideas from both of my worlds, and I am always excited to learn something new. I'm particularly strict about good UX, so I take care to provide beauty and performance along with functionality in my work.
","projectsPrologue":"I have worked on a number of projects both at the office, and at home. These include games and apps, realized via different technologies for web, android and flash (when it was cool). I handle mostly front-end business and visual logic; my back-end work consists predominantly of multiplayer server logic, and simple rest api and websites.","miscellaneous":"Whether as personal projects or to assist my workflow at the office, I've also familiarized myself with several online and self hosted cloud IDEs, such as Gitpod, CodeServer (vscode in the browser) and Cloud9.
Occassionally I work on some home-automation/IOT projects, utilizing a box of pies at home and the best and cheapest Aliexpress has to offer in terms of gadgets and switches.

Client-side it is rendered via React, with GSAP and regular CSS handling most of the animations. The server is a node.js app, utilizing the beautiful and open-source Colyseus framework for room management and communication protocols. Google's Firebase SDK is currently used for database and authentication. Most complex parts of this project are the business logic - special effects of played cards need to be able to both respond to a large number of possible situations, which is solved via an entirely custom event system.
Also in the form of a React application, I constructed a custom data editor to aid development as the project scales. This uses simple forms, the ACE Editor plugin for scripting the effects directly, with syntax hight-lighting and custom autocomplete. Instead of a managed database, I opted to use the Github API for load-saving the data. Apart from providing a mkae-shift human-readable change history, this approach afforded me creative freedom, by using git branches to easily test and compare design directions.

Handled visuals, game play, and front-end-to-back-end communication protocols and strategies.
Devised the game play section of a casual Android/iOS game. Aside from trigonometry, mock-physics, and ads integration, specific work was aimed at adding polish and spectacle, to what resulted in one of the firm's most visually engaging projects.
Developed a complex mobile billiards app for a foreign market. The project involved real-time physics simulation, low-level shader programming, multiplayer logic in C#, in-app purchases, player progression, and live tournaments.
Most of these titles were designed technically and game-wise by our own team, with few pointers or requirements from clients.
