RESUME

Senior Software Engineer while at Disney Interactive

"Sean was responsible for many aspects of our game’s (Marvel Avengers Alliance 2) UI. We worked together on optimizing the performance while enhancing the visuals. He was always open to new approaches and easy to work with. Often we would brainstorm new ideas and come up with novel new approaches that were fun to implement."

Designer while at Big Huge Games

Sean is a tremendous UI artist and simply a great person to work with. I'm completely confident that he will be an asset to whatever project he decides to taken on. During Reckoning's development, Sean navigated ridiculous workloads, roadblocks, pipeline issues, last minute icon requests, finicky tools, and localization issues with skill and aplomb - and he somehow managed to maintain an upbeat mood in the face of all that.

Senior UI Engineer while at Big Huge Games

A true gamer, an illustration master, an analytic thinker and a hard worker. Sean absolutely saved the day for Reckoning, coming on late to a project in desperate need of his talents. He navigated the existing frameworks, technical restrictions, and colossal workloads like a boss. 

I expect great things from him in the future.

Manager while at Rainbow Studios

It was my pleasure to work with Sean, directly supervising him, during the MX vs. ATV Untamed project. Sean is an extremely astute artist who has a knowledge past his area of expertise that would serve him well if ever he felt like branching into production. He is extremely well organized, his work is always of a high caliber, he stays steady and does not flap when put under pressure. 

I would wholeheartedly recommend Sean to anyone who needs a forward thinking, calming addition to their team.
