Work at CIG
His work at Cloud Imperium Games on Star Citizen began late 2016. He started initially as a Live Designer, authoring missions using CIG's proprietary visual scripting software StarCitizen:Subsumption and building the StarCitizen:Persistent Universe utilizing many different technologies for periodic Alpha releases.<ref name=":0" />
In early 2018, he shimmied over to his friends in the art department and began working as a Technical Artist. With the aim of pushing forward procedural planet based location tech and expanding his engine-side/coding skill base. He created tools for procedural planetside locations using Python.<ref name=":0" />
As much as he enjoyed creating procedural caves, landing areas, underground facilities and the tools with which to place them on planets, his foray into art was cut short.<ref name=":0" />
I returned to the Live Design team as Senior Live Designer due to his mentor, the Tech Art Director moving on to become Tech Director at Riot.<ref name=":0" />
