Zynga Inc.

Software Engineer • July 2012 - July 2015

Coming into Zynga fresh out of University, I started out on a couple of unannounced game titles where I primarily worked in ActionScript 3, PHP, and Unity/C#. I was the primary dev for many of the features and contributed towards the architecture of the final game.

One of these services include GWF, one of the largest Rails deployments in the world. I've learned a lot from my time here on the Games with Friends team, ranging from performing operations work to learning and working with service-oriented-architecture.
