I have worked with JavaScript for almost 2 decades. I consistently keep my knowledge up-to-date and have deployed commercial code at almost every level.

I lead the back end team for an MMO product at a AAA studio when I first applied node.js commercially. Since, I have applied it at all levels and mostly replaced my traditionally PHP, CF and other stacks on the back end.

I have worked with SQL at great depth and build and maintained large query infrastructures over more than a decade. During an earlier period of my life I enjoyed porting general programming problems into the SQL domain, helping me to master complex query mechanics.

For most of my career I have maintained my own hardware and backend systems for various web services and projects. Around 6 years ago, though, I had the opportunity to experience a larger scale when I designed the scalable infrastructure for a large MMO project.

PHP had been my bread-and-butter for many years, until, around 6 years ago, I entered the game development industry. I knew it in-depth, but am not up-to-date with the latest tricks.

I'm currently in the process of developing a CCG game engine for my Xenocide Academy project. I stream this work live daily.

I first started working with Unity3D on a MMO project around 6 years ago. We had the source license and worked closely with Unity3D to iron out issues and bugs in those early days. I later moved to the back-end team wear I deployed Unity3D server shards via node.js on AWS.
