About me: Autodidact & programmer by heart.

web // mobile // desktop // games - I love creating stuff.
I have a professional track record as software architect and lead developer in videogames as well as full stack web & mobile development.
I'm fluent in a lot of programming languages, but due to its crossplatform nature I like Haxe the most.

  6. Big Data Visualization Applications - [billiger.de - solute GmbH]

    2009 - Big data machine learning is only successful with proper tools and visualizations. I designed and implemented a zoomable UI-library(based on the DOM Level-3 Event Spec) for a distributed inhouse 2d/3d visualization platform as well as building several applications for debugging, maintaining and training the SVMs.

  7. Kenexa World Conference Teaser - [contract work]

    2012 - The challenge was to make a realworld paperloop art-piece come to life as an interactive design that reacts on userinput and music. - Check it out!

  6. Unnamed topdown shooter - [prototype]

    2012 - An attempt to see how much of a game I could get out of procedurally generated content. Infinite unique levels, enemies and weapons generated from templates. Dynamic and baked lighting added as visual sugar on top.

    #dynamic_lights #procedural_content #flash10

  7. Dynamic 2D lighting engine - [prototype]

    2012 - A prototype for an alternative approach to dynamic 2d lighting. Turned out to be a pretty effective algorithm for software rendering at the cost of 1 drawcall per light, no matter how many occluders.

    #flash10 #dynamic_lights

  8. Roxy's Racer - [prototype]

    2012 - An attempt to see how feasible a 3d racer in flash with jiglib for rigid body physics would be. Turns out, without alchemy opcodes it will be a tough call. I have high hopes for a Html5 version though.

    #flash11 #stage3d #blender #jiglib

  9. Unnamed 3D adventure game - [prototype]

    2011 - A prototype I developed in cooperation with the folks at Outpost12Studios. It was the testbed for my 3D engine and blender-toolset.

    #flash11 #stage3d #blender #hxsl #skeletal_animation

  10. Unnamed tower defense game - [prototype]

    2011 - Explored the idea of mixing tower defense and realtime strategy elements in a flashgame. It featured 32 different units and towers with multiple levels of upgrades. What a balancing nightmare :)

    #flash10 #pathfinding

  11. Ravaged Galaxy - [prototype]

    2011 - A multiplayer collectible card game. Developed on top of an Apache-Tora-Redis stack, the game is playable in a basic form but lacks a proper GUI and art-assets due to time and money constraints. Some day this gets finished.
