EXPERIENCE
iOS APP DEVELOPER • GOOD NIGHT TALES, PLASTIC COW INC. • OCT 2017 – JAN 2019

As the sole developer of the Good Night Tales iOS app, I designed and built a custom video player, creating flexible solutions to adapt to changing requirements as the project progressed.

  • Extensive UI animation taking full advantage of Auto Layout
  • Domain-specific video compression/optimization tool
  • Comprehensive analytics
  • Zero iOS or Swift experience to a complete app in just over a year
  • No significant bugs in the two years since release
MINECRAFT MOD DEVELOPER • LIBRARIANLIB, TEAM WIZARDRY • JUN 2016 – PRESENT

I co-created and am now the primary developer of LibrarianLib (LibLib), a collection of Kotlin/Java libraries and frameworks designed to streamline the often extremely arduous process of creating Minecraft mods. With over 7.6 million downloads, LibLib is in the top 2.5% of mods for 1.12.

This project involves

  • Gathering information about pain points from other developers
  • Designing and implementing generalized and flexible solutions
  • Gathering design feedback from developers that would use the solution
  • Adapting the design during the implementation process in response to unexpected hurdles or changing requirements
  • Using multiple levels of abstraction to provide both ease of use and high flexibility
