High Fidelity Gathering Spot Domain
Lead Engineer - JavaScript - April 2018
The Spot is the default landing space for users in High Fidelity when they enter the platform for the first time. As the
Lead Engineer on this project, I was responsible for the planning and delivery of the interactive content within the
space while managing a team of four developers. In addition to the technical design and on-time delivery of the VR space,
I wrote the security solution for The Spot, a system to randomly override the walk animation for a users' avatar with
a temporary "silly walk", and breakable dishware for The Spot's virtual cafe.

High Fidelity Painting Domain
Environment Designer & Developer - JavaScript | Blender - April 2018
The painting domain in High Fidelity is built around a third-party fingerpainting application within the platform. For this project, I wrote a script (JavaScript) to automatically load the Fingerpaint app onto a user's tablet / HUD when they arrived at the space. I was also responsible for the end-to-end delivery of the domain, created new textures for the app tutorial signage and the domain floor model, and applied to those pre-made FBX models in Blender.

Domain Content Replacement Tool
Lead Engineer - C++ - August 2017
Designed and implemented a feature in the High Fidelity engine to allow users to directly replace a content set for their server domain from within the client.
