Game Developer

Portfolio

My name is Thomas Jones and I'm currently a Master's student of Computer Science at DigiPen Institute of Technology. This is my online-portfolio and here you will find information about me and the work I've done. I'll summarize my experience here and provide more in-depth details and samples about specific work I've done on the projects page.

Summary of Experience

I'm currently a Master's student of Computer Science at DigiPen Institute of Technology where I've worked on several game projects and many other graphics or AI related projects. I'm currently working on a thesis with a focus on temporally coherent patterns for non-photorealistic rendering. Prior to DigiPen I spent 14 months as a game programmer for Artificial Studios, designing and implementing game-play features for the UnrealEngine 3 powered title Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia, released in June 2007 for the PC and XBox 360 systems. Before Artificial I spent about 5 months as a software developer at WebMD/Emdeon, doing bug fixing for a doctor-patient records management system. Finally, prior to that, I was attending the University of Florida, pursing a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Engineering.
