Assistant Tools Programmer
2013-09-01 - 2014-07-01
Joined the company as a junior programmer on the tools team. Responsibilities largely consisted of working through the feature request backlog for existing content pipeline tooling used for artists, including a high-performance shader-map baking tool. My role largely consisted of working on extending or adding features to tooling that was already in use prior to my arrival.
