Curriculum Vitae

Lead and built up a team of 7 developers in implementing and maintaining a store embedded into the Unity IDE, where Unity users can sell game assets to other game developers. The development consisted of writing an end user interface and admin subsystem written as a HTML5 application communicating using AJAX with a server backend hosted on Amazon EC2 and RDS. The store also handles payments for items sold and automated payout to content owners. The HTML5 web UI was integrated into Unity by embedding a customized Webkit. This allowed for rapid prototyping and updating the store interface without releasing new versions of the Unity application.

Responsibilities: Design and development, recruiting, project management, employee reviews, initial marketing and conference presentations.

Tools and platforms: C++, C#, mono, perl, javascript, objective C, Webkit, Unity, DBIx::Class, Amazon AWS (RDS, EC2 and S3), various payment gateways, Mac OS X, Windows XP, Linux (CentOS).

Implemented changes in project structure to allow using external version control systems on Unity projects.

Various editor enhancements and bugfixes.

Tools and platforms: C++, C#, mono, Unity, Mac OS X, Windows XP.

More continued development work for Nokia.

Developed and maintained several additions to Unity, the company's flagship product. Implemented a client/sever based asset configuration management system integrated into the product. Additionally, I maintained and tuned some of the build tools, C++->.Net bindings, the online web shop and other small tasks.

Continued work on the tools and frameworks I worked on in my previous assignment at Nokia (Sep 2001-oct 2002). The tools have gained more use inside the organisation, which required a person to support the growing amount of users. Also some updating and extension is required to the tools and framework. The web interface has been augmented using AJAX concepts in order to streamline the user experience.

Game code programming and development of tool extensions on a educational game about the Israel/Palestine conflict

I did various work on OTEEs 3D game development platform, Unity, such as creating an intaller using Apple's Package Builder, integrating an anti-piracy system into the product, writing end-user documentation, adding WWW support to the scripting of the 3D engine, various testing and bug fixing, creation of an automated build system, and maintainining and extending the documentation generator and formatter.

I also created the company's secure web store with online-payment using Paypal. The payment part was designed in a way so it could be extended with another payment solution. The store can either be accessed directly from the company home page or through a registration screen in a downloaded demo version of Unity. The store also handles activating the software after payment has finished by generating serial numbers that are emailed to the customer. When accessing the store through the registration screen of an non-activated demo version, the product will get activated automatically without a need to enter the serial number.

The project consisted of five major parts:

1. Implementation of a system for gathering and querying telephony traffic measurements from a distributed set of InterQuest probes. This included a graphical web user interface that abstracted the list of nodes to a list of traffic links measured. All communication between different modules was over a custom-made network protocol based on a subset of HTTP/1.0.
2. Addition of misc. improvements and bug fixes in the existing web user interface for the InterQuest probes.
3. A design and implement a license management subsystem and accompanying production tools for administrating licenses. Also including a web user interface for installing and updating the installed licenses. The license system also has features to prevent unauthorised tampering of installed code and obfuscation/scrambling of critical license handling code.
4. Design and implementation of a subsystem for sending alerts to an email address and/or an SNMP trap daemon, configurable by the user.
5. Clean-up and some restructuring of the code baseline. Experimental porting to a new platform. Update of design and user documentation. Addition of more unit testing and better support for adding struts and stubbing out code.

A one-week project consisting of creating a tool in perl that could search through a directory hierarchy for Borland builder project files and make sure all files contained the same compiler, assembler and linker flags. The tool could also be used to change the flags globally and recognised a set of macro switches for enabling and disabling debug builds.

Development of ASP.NET components for integrating a content management system with a Lotus Notes database.

Prototyping and creation of embedded Python game code. Some of which was a fairly accurate physical simulation of a helicopter. (Maybe too accurate, as it was a bit too hard to control.) A fun and different experience, which required me to brush up on my linear algebra, quaternion and mechanics.

Also created some simple perl code to automatically extract inline C++ comments and output C++ code for showing tool-tips in the in-house game editor.

Debugging of a perl application that used screen scraping to communicate with a mainframe application for administering mobile phone users.

Implementation of a Java applet for alternating between two images with a variable frequency. (Controllable with a scroll-bar at the bottom of the applet.) The applet was a part of an online art installation on Woolo.org by Carsten Höller. For more information see http://www.wooloo.org

Development of supporting applications around the company's existing Configuration Management system. The development cycle entailed the production of a number of large frameworks written in OO-perl, among other things to lift the task of interfacing with the already existing systems in operation. A secondary goal was to gather statistical material and auxiliary data regarding server configurations in order to establish means of overseeing and optimizing the allocation of both system resources and manpower.

The resulting applications and framework have been used at most of the company's development labs, and are running on a large number of production servers in Asia, Europe, and USA.

Tools: OO-Perl, Oracle 8i, Apache, mod_perl, gnuplot, Telelogic Continuus (now CM/Synergy)
Platforms: HP-UX, Sun Solaris and Linux.

Programming and system design related to online registration / credit checking of new Internet access customers.

Development, system design and implementation of a generalized web-based user registration system. Automatic generation of perl/ASP web pages from an XML-specification utilizing XSLT and perl.

Development tools: perl, ASP/perl, XML, XSLT.

A song by me, Sad Disco, was chosen to be featured on the sound track of Pusher II by Nicolas Winding Refn. The film, which got premiered in Danish theatres in the Christmas break got seen by over 23000 people on the first day, instantly becomming the most seen christmas release in Denmark. By Jan 5. 2005 it has been seen by 100,000 movie goers. The film has already been nominated for 12 "Roberts", the Danish film Academy's version of the Oscar.

The music from the film has also been published by Universal Music. (My song is number 9 on the CD)

During the period, I've written, directed, and produced the following 6 films:

• Ode To A Mirror

• Tomgang (Idle)
