Highlights
Mouse Highlighter
I wrote ‘JW Mouse Highlighter’ to make it easier to see the mouse cursor on the screen. It has an installer, runs in system tray, has customization options, and supports startup capability.
Built in python and constructed over a weekend. This was my first experience with AI coding.
Infinite Wordle
I built ‘Infinite Wordle’ for my mom. Hello Wordle
It took about two weeks to build. I made some upgrades such as: ‘forever play’, and ‘give up/reveal answer’
Built in Godot, exported to html+webpack, and hosted on Digital Ocean.
Hockey Website
I made this website to practice web development. Data is scraped automatically, compiled, and served on a droplet located in NYC
Built with javascript, html, css, node, express, react, Digital Ocean, ubuntu, nhl.com, etc
Rapid Prototyping Initiative
I partnered with a Strategic Development Director on the opposite side of game development after he became interested in a post I made on our internal message boards
The strategy involved coordinating with EA’s central teams to readily augment it’s developers with EA’s catalog.
We entered the game jam, built two games, moved onto finalists, presented to directors, and achieved runner up for our efforts.
EA Design Guild (2015)
Though the EA guilds were a short-lived concept, I was fortunate enough to be selected to the Design Guild and attend the inaugural event at EA HQ in Redwood Shores. Guided by EA’s people development, around 50 designers from all facets of EA gathered to share and discuss our respective design challenges and experiences, from mobile to AAA, from junior to director. It was an excellent opportunity to connect
Skate 3 Launch Event @ London Showcase
I was lucky enough to represent EA and Skate 3 at our London EA Showcase event, where we shared the floor with EA-partner published games. Over the course of two days and two evenings, I gave an insane amount of interviews, hands-on demos and tutorials, and helped the MC facilitate the Hall Of Meat tournament during evening media event which was one of many highlights of an amazing experience. Skate showed me just how large EA’s marketing department’s budget is.
