Megan Lenore Fox Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics (focus in applied software/algorithm design) Positions
Held: Graphics Programmer,
NetDevil 8/2009 – present Graphics programmer on the “Core” team
for LEGO Universe working on most every part of the client, including the
rendering pipeline itself, shaders, system-wide performance, general support on new
tech requests from other teams, etc. My
duties quickly grew beyond what one usually
thinks of a graphics programmer doing as I took on new responsibilities – most
notably, I helmed the initial effort and later acted as the focus for min-spec performance,
and became a focus for “test and react” polish passes and general severity 1 bug
fixing. Developer,
Idyllon LLC 3/2006 – 8/2009 Developer on the Idyllon project
prototype, which demonstrated the primary features and technologies of
Idyllon. Was responsible for
constructing the engine from the ground up, including
associated toolsets and all look-and-feel systems. Was also responsible for the deferred
shading rendering engine (with forward-shaded fallback) and a number of NDA-protected
cutting-edge technologies of our own design related to real-time
growth. Most of the engine was also
used in Wild Vines, a casual title we shipped, on which I
also acted as the sole developer. Technical Support
Engineer,
Rogue Wave Software 12/2000 – 3/2002 Support and development related to the DBTools / SourcePro DB database library and API-specific (Oracle, Oracle8, Sybase CT, etc) access
libraries, as well as the Objective suite. Work involved everything from bug-hunting to
to-design coding. Shipped
