• Kung Fu: Deadly Arts on skillground. Responsible for:
  A Kung Fu - themed online head-to-head fighter using Unreal Engine 2.5.
  • Design of a tool chain for visually laying out combat state machines and generating run-time code from the visual diagrams.
  • Combat System design and implementation.
• The Road to Sparta:
  An unreleased single player game created for the 300 DVD launch.
  • Combat System design and implementation.
• Development in progress on an 360 Live Arcade game.

• The Warriors for Playstation 2 and Xbox, responsibilities include:
  • Combat and Animation System- design and implementation of combat system, in close coordination with game designers and animators; all in-game animation playback.
  • Animation Tool Chain- developed an exporter for in-game character and scene animation from 3D Studio Max 5, an off-line compressor for animation data and a make-based build system for data processing.
  • Scene Playback System - designed and implemented the in-game scene playback system, which handles interstitial cut-scenes as well as in-game character / object / camera animation for pre-animated sequences.
  • Combat Collision System - designed and implemented a combat collision system.
  • Data Build maintenance- maintenance of linux/cygwin make -driven data build system.

• Participation in the Design Specification, and Approval of the arb_matrix_palette, ext_vertex_shader, arb_fragment_program, arb_vertex_program, vertex_buffer_object, and OpenGL versions 1.3 and 1.4.
  Planning the June 2002 ARB meeting hosted by Matrox. Obtaining ARB membership for Matrox.
• Parhelia OpenGL Developer: designing, managing and implementing OpenGL extensions to support Parhelia's pixel processor. Designed and implemented the driver texture compression code for DXT format.
• Matrox G550 chip architecture, design, specification, documentation, and device driver architecture, design and development for a high performance 3D graphics accelerator ASIC. Responsible for:
  • Transform and Lighting processor: participated in the design of a custom SIMD-RISC processor and its interfaces for the pipelined processing of primitive rendering commands.Precision specification and analysis.Performance Analysis: chip, board and system level.
  • Programmable Setup Engine Module: wrote, tested, debugged and supported all primitive setup code (highly-optimized custom VLIW assembly-language programs) for embedded execution, as well as all driver-level management code.
  • Graphics Driver: participated in the design, development, debugging and support of an integrated graphics driver for the G550 product, including the 2D (GDI) display driver, kernel-level miniport, Direct3D and DirectDraw (DX8), and OpenGL drivers.
