Igglycon

Title: 3D Artist and Unity 3D Developer
Nov 2020 - Present

A project to create an online virtual reality convention space for an in-person event.

I was brought on to create a few simple 3D asset props but ended up taking on more responsibility as the project progressed.

I filled a few different roles both because those roles were required and because they presented an interesting challenge.

In the end I gained a *lot* of experience with Unity 3D, UdonSharp, VRchat world creation, VRChat character creation, and Blender.

You can sample the VR worlds from the Hotel Lobby world hub!

June 2017

Corus

Title: Web Developer
June 2017 - June 2022

Many projects in .NET with Ektron, PHP Drupal and WordPress sites, and everything in-between. At Corus many sites for different shows and other properties are hosted on a variety of platforms. Maintaining them calls upon a deep understanding of programming in general, creative thinking, and an ability to problem solve.

More recently we have performed a switch of our core web technologies over to a combination of WordPress with GraphQL, ReactJS, NodeJS, Apollo, NextJS, and our own custom libraries. This transition was a great learning experience and I feel ready to take on more advanced projects in ReactJS now. Working with this technology has been fun and rewarding.

I took part in the conversion of https://www.corusent.com/ over to a more accessible website using the tool SiteImprove to monitor and guide our accessibility efforts. This is something I have prior experience in having done accesibility conversions of government websites for Whatever Solutions & Media Inc. in the 2000s.

Education

2004

My formal training in Computer Science is from Trent University in Peterborough. An excellent small-city university it provided the opportunity to interact with my professors and to get deep into a subject that I love.

My experience at Trent has been critical to my understanding of Software Project Development & Management. Anyone can code. Not many can organise and code well.
