I am a draftsman for architectural stone. I create reference drawings and work orders. Stonemasons use the work orders to produce the individual stones, and masons use the reference drawings to assemble and install the project.

| iPhone Game Kit Community Project · Level designer, music producer and A.I. programmer |
Aug. 2010 to Apr. 2012
|
This community project taught people how to develop a game for the iPhone in Objective-C using Cocos 2D for iPhone and the iPhone Game Kit (now called Wizard Fu). Roughly a dozen people made an RPG adventure game for the iPhone and iPad using traditional 2D game building techniques such as sprite sheets and level editors. I designed roughly 75% of the levels, created and recorded all the game music (played on traditional acoustic instruments, including a Balalaïka and Appalachian dulcimer) and programmed some of the A.I. for different creatures, including behaviours such as chase, flee, idle, wander, teleport etc. I also cleaned up graphics and levels designed by other participants, and learned a lot from the lead programmer, Nat Weiss.
