OPifex Enterainment is a independant game development studio based out of Grand Rapids, MI. Founded by Kirk Roerig, Ryan Wilson, and myself.

We are a small team of dedicated game developers who strive to create games that are worth talking about. We have fresh ideas, with hopes to pierce the standard gaming mentality and deliver products that truly give our players a unique experience. We dubbed ourselves OPifex not only because of our creative, unique game design, but also our exploration into new technologies and techniques that really make our games shine.

Casting Pigeon delivers casting positions to their customers through SMS messages in the Los Angeles, California area. I built their back end SMS service, connected them with PayPal, set up their database scheme, and designed a large portion of the front end form design.
Due to legal implications, the site was taken down, I keep an example of the page on the server. (This is a non-functioning version, design only) Casting Pigeon Link

This application uses a technique called Deferred Shading. This process renders a 3D scene to GBuffers which store the attributes of the pixels in a RenderTarget. These RenderTargets are then used as a Post Process effect to calculate lighting on a per pixel basis rather than the traditional per vertex basis.

For my Cryptography class at Michigan Tech I built a small application to encrypt and decrypt cryptography ciphers. Currently it solves the Shift Cipher, Hill Cipher, Affine Cipher, and the Substitution Cipher. Each cipher logs its process giving a step by step procedure showing the work completed. It was created with C# and therefore requires the .net framework 2.0+ to be installed.

I created an application for Windows that scans any network share that you want, grabs the file information in descending order of earliest creation time on the file. The program will then pop up a notification every time a new file is added to the network share (scans at a designated interval). You can then open the file from the program or leave it until later.
