I’ve touched so many parts of Halo Infinite, from early prototypes of the campaign experience, to improving animation workflows, to becoming the lead engineer for the Academy & Bots features for Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer. I was privileged to lead a small team that’s responsible for those features, and we pitched in to help support to Multiplayer experience all up. I’m really proud to say our multiplayer bots have received broad critical acclaim as some of the best bots seen a video game ever.

I joined 343 Industries shortly after Halo 4 shipped. I worked on the campaign for Halo 5, helping the design team with bespoke and tricky sequences across the campaign. I worked on networking code to support a move to dedicated servers and join in/drop out co-op, as well as some dev tools to make launching the game easier. I also did a ton of work on optimizations and level streaming. My favorite feature was improving the flocking system, which was used for ambient life and for big sky battles with dozens of ships dogfighting in the skybox.

I worked on Project Spark in pre-production, and only for a few months. In that time, I added a cool feature to the brain editor (pictured here) which was a kid-friendly tile based code editor. I essentially added a behind the scenes auto complete to allow the scripting engine to insert appropriate tiles that the user may have forgotten.

I worked on Hololens in early R&D. I primarily focused on exploring and prototyping different interaction models for how uses could interact with holograms in a variety of user contexts. I also was one of the initial internal advocates of using Unity for Hololens experience development and helped our team massively improve our prototype efficiency after switching over to it.

This was my first experience leading a team. I think we had thirty-ish people involved across several universities. We built the engine from scratch in XNA. We had a huge team of engineers, designers, artists, audio implementers, a composer, and even voice actors! I learned a ton about leadership, production, design, writing, programming, and scoping. I’m really proud of what we put together.
