About Tyler Walker

Industry experience leading all aspects of the 3D game asset pipeline; primarily focused on high feature avatars and game dev. I build automated pipelines to port high feature brand IP characters between games, software, standards, etc. Skilled at optimizing 3D assets for web, mobile, etc. Expert making custom rigs with dynamic physics bones and constraints. Building shaders that are consistent across design software and the target game engine. Strong in unreal engine using blueprints, C++, and Python to develop supporting game mechanics. Comfortable working in three.js and react-three-fiber to deploy 3D environments- Industry experience with both software and hardware design and development- Sensors, Systems Engineering, Embedded, Electrical, DSP, Robotics, Motor Controllers- Debugging of software and hardware with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, software techniques and simulators- System level software in embedded environments like RPi, Arduino, Atmel, TI, and Intel Microcontrollers- Programming for low power devices- Strong knowledge of Python, C, Matlab, Source Control. Moderate experience with Linux, HTML, CSS, PHP, LabJack. Some exposure to JMP, C#, VHDL, Assembly, Labview-Familiar with I2C, I3C & SPI Communication ProtocolsApplications: Microsoft Office Tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Source Control with Github/Bitbucket/Perforce, Microsoft Visual Studio, Arduino, SSH Clients, JMP, 3D Modelling and Animation in Blender, Maya, Unreal Engine Game Development
