Work Experience

Little Orbit (C#, Unity3D) May 2021 – Jan.2023

• Primarily focused on front-end development, working closely with artists and designers to create the desired user experience. Occasionally delved into the back-end for proper functionality.

• Developed systems for dynamically applying visual affects and animations to objects as the game state required them, in order to reduce the amount of work that all departments would need to do otherwise, while also improving game performance, reducing file sizes, and allowing for flexible future design goals.

LinQuest (C#, Unity3D, C++, Python, JS) Mar. 2018 – Jan. 2020

• Joined development teams for multiple projects new and old, generally implementing game play and multi-user interface features for multiple platforms.

• Proposed and implemented solutions to structural obstacles that persisted between projects, saving immeasurable amounts of development time.

• Participated in initial design meetings, bringing up various issues and offering solutions to them before production began. Most of these solutions were implemented in the end-products. Live in the Game (C#, Unity) Nov. 2016 – Feb. 2017

• Worked on a mobile 2D story-telling game with puzzle-solving elements.

• Cleaned up existing project by removing over 25% of existing files, which were unnecessary.

• Created an item glow effect by use of shaders.

• Assisted other programmers with their tasks when they were struggling. This included menu systems, character movement, and level transitioning. Shaun Norem 719-***-**** • *****.*****@*****.***
