Alfonso Canady Jr.

Software Dev | Game Dev | Instructor

I do a little of everything. I'm a software developer with a focus on simulation and game devlopment in Unity. I also have a strong passion for teaching and, while I don't teach full time at the moment, I still volunteer when possible to help nurture the next generation of devs.

Cinilope

Software Engineer

I've worked as the primary Software Engineer at Cinilope for the past two years. I focus on the design and development of simulations involving drones and other UAVs in Augmented and Virtual Reality.

I also develop and maintain applications for Android and Windows Hololens using the Unity Engine.

CodeCrew

Lead instructor

Codecrew was my first job in tech both during and after college. While there I worked as a Teaching Assistant, Assistant Instructor, Instructor, and finally as a Lead Instructor teaching K-12 as well as adult courses. I developed curriculum and taught CS courses ranging from summer game design classes using Unity to in school computer science classes covering the basics of programming. As a lead instructor I worked with the Codecrew CodeSchool, a coding bootcamp for adults, and taught/developed Front End Web Development curriculum. I am no longer employed by Codecrew but still volunteer for them from time to time.

Integration Innovation Inc

Unity Game Developer

i3 is my latest employer, there I work as a Junior Unity Dev and focus on training and simulation software for military personnel. I develop content with my team and work under my SCRUM master to produce produciton level, high quality content.

Projects

Ecosystem Simulation

In this project I use Unity AI to control agents that interact with one another. Across many generations key traits of these agents can mutate to better fit their environment leading the group to "evolve" over time.

Game of Life Unity

Game of Life in Unity, this was made using a Compute Shader as a way of getting used to using HLSL

Coding Challenges

These are all of the coding challenges I've completed. It's a mix of leetcode/hackerank/projectEuler etc. This is both to practice for possible interviews as well as instruction purposes.

Magical Disks

College senior seminar project; all code, 3D assets, and music were developed by me. Any other assets and sounds used were open source.

2D Graph Visualizer

A visual education tool that allows the user to create custom graphs and see a visual depcition of how different search algorithms affect graph traversal. Supported search alorithms are Breadth First Search, Depth First Search, Djikstra, and A*

i3 Developer Test

This is the developer test I completed as the first phase of the interview process that led to my Junior Unity Dev position with i3. The package they provided included a car model and all other functionality was created by me.
