Adam Smith

As a Senior Software Engineer with over 14 years of experience in software development and more than a decade in video game development, I specialize in creating immersive and engaging digital experiences across multiple platforms. Currently, I am part of The Walt Disney Company, where I contribute to various video game projects ranging from console and PC games to web and mobile development. Throughout my career, I have successfully led the transition of titles from external developers, enhancing cross-platform functionality for macOS and Windows, and developed workflows for porting large PC and console games in Unreal Engine and Unity to modern platforms. I have a proven track record of maintaining and updating live mobile games on Xbox, PlayStation, Android, and iOS, as well as evaluating Android, Xbox, PS4, PC, and HTML5 titles for archival purposes. One of my notable achievements includes writing scripts to convert texture atlases back to manageable assets, significantly reducing development time. I have also fixed game and graphics bugs in live games and during Unity upgrades, developed scripts to optimize Gradle build pipelines, and converted multiple Disney eBooks for offline use. Previously, I developed experiences for the hit VR first-person shooter game Raw Data using Unreal Engine 4 on Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR platforms. I also implemented gameplay mechanics for XCom 2, updated Unreal Engine 3 tools to support Xbox One and PS4 consoles, and advanced location-based gaming for Android. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to start my own consulting company, where I worked on Project Sound Bed and Project Visual Analytix. I served as Engineering Director on these initiatives, driving innovation and excellence in their development. I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology and creating innovative user experiences. My expertise spans C++, C#, Unity, Unreal Engine, and various other technologies, enabling me to deliver high-quality, scalable software solutions.
