Entrée is a run-based 2-D video game where you fight food in procedurally generated levels. I started development in December 2022 and am writing it using Go in my free time. Major accomplishments include the following:

• Two-phase collision detection service using spatial hashing and separating axis theorem
• Entity component system to handle large entity counts using generational indices
• Dynamic level generation system to combine hand-crafted rooms with randomized tiles

At Atlantis Technology I was a senior software engineer consultant for BNY Mellon. I worked on a project focused on processing and enriching large volumes of data in a microservices architecture. Some of my accomplishments at Atlantis include:

• Developed a service to asyncronsly process and enriched large volumes of data
• Refactored decaying unit tests in multiple repositories to reduce bugs and defects
• Containerized and automated the developer environment to be uniform across all team members
• Automated the deployment procedure and other repeatable tasks to improve productivity
