Our team built a new Unity game engine from scratch for Ultimate Chef (now defunct). In particular, I wrote our UI, timed events, and local market ingredients systems, and worked with design and art to achieve ambitious high-level goals within our tech and schedule constraints.
After Ultimate Chef was pulled, I worked with the Glu Toronto team to launch The Swift Life (currently in beta), helping out both client and server teams on last minute bugs and features.
