  Geomerics is a middleware company that makes Enlighten, a real-time radiosity SDK for games. Announced clients include EA DICE and CCP. As the fifth developer to join the company, my roles have needed to be diverse. Therefore I have touched a broad scope of disciplines:
  
  - In 2007, my work was centred on development of the asset pipeline and customer SDK samples.
  - In 2008, my roles expanded to include the development of our Xbox 360 port, graphical technology (including Geomerics' ambient occlusion solution), and mesh processing.
  - At the start of 2009, I worked with Seattle-based company Zombie Studios to integrate Enlighten into Epic's Unreal Engine 3.
  - I am currently working on Enlighten 2.0 (Large Worlds) and also managing Geomerics' Q.A. process.
