We've talked with the guys from SnapTank about modern 3d scanning and how it can be used in your game production.
We've talked with the guys from SnapTank about modern 3d scanning and how it can be used in your game production.
James Hanline: At SnapTank we're a diverse team made up of people from all over the world, from the UK and Europe, to New Zealand. We have backgrounds in 3D scanning, film production, and the game industry. We're a passionate bunch who believe in making photorealistic 3D models accessible and affordable within the community. So, we have created an online platform just for 3D scanned realistic assets.
SnapTank is an online marketplace, dedicated to the exceptional 3D scans out there and giving exposure to the capture artists who create them. Anybody with the ability to scan a real world subject and turn it into an accurate 3D model, can upload it to the website. We have created a space dedicated to what they do, so 3D scans of anything, and everything, can be found easily.
The uses these scans have are endless; artistic reference, base mesh, background 3D assets, architecture visualization, virtual reality spaces, rendered scenes, and as realistic game assets. With most of our scans commercially licensed, anybody can use them.
Working on Zombie Scans
James Hanline: We wanted these Zombie scans to be usable as 3D reference as well as a photorealistic model. With Zombies, the costumes and makeup had to be bang on, as well as talented actors to play the part. Fortunately, we had the help of Robbie Drake, a special effects make-up artist with over 15 years experience. He designed the makeup based on the anatomy of each actor so each zombie's appearance, from clothes to sores, was unique.
The concept of scanning the Zombies was pretty straightforward, but the steps we have to take once that information has been collected is another matter.
The key feature of the scanning process was to use photogrammetry experts Clear Angle Studios. They hold a 'rig' made up of 150 DSLR cameras, with each camera aligned to a particular section of the subject and programmed to trigger at the same time. Each separate image captured is then aligned using incredibly efficient software such as Agisoft Photoscan, Reality Capture, or Autodesk ReMake. Like a puzzle, each piece is put together in 3D space, creating the model you recognize as a terrifying zombie.
James Hanline: Scans generally come out as a tri-poly mesh in either an FBX or OBJ format with a UV map automatically attached by the scanning software.
Dependent on the quality and detail captured in the scanning process, not much clean up is needed. However optimized topology could be required, for rigging and animating, in which case retopologising will be needed. This is where tools like TopoGun or Wrap3 can really help speed up the process. ZRemesher or Dynamesh in ZBrush are also useful. However, this is all dependant on the quality level you are trying to achieve.
If you have a scan in RAW form, then more clean up will be needed if you want to achieve a polished result. Needing to correct floating artifacts, holes or issues in the mesh created by occlusions, and blurred textures.
The use of unwrapping UV's is almost always needed.
This is partly our aim. We want to save artists time who want the benefits of the realism 3D scans provide, but don't want to go through this process.
James Hanline: With a photogrammetry scan, you need to get the lighting perfectly right at the point of capture. Otherwise you might as well not have the texture at all and create it from scratch in something like Substance Painter or Mari. This means if shooting outside, shooting on a flat-lit day with a polarizing lens to hand. This may not work with all cases, but it minimizes retexturing work needed later down the pipeline.
Shooting in a studio, you can achieve cross-polarization, to remove all trace of specular reflection, to give you the best textures for later use. This means there is no de-lighting needed and you get a clean diffuse/albedo map, which you can feed straight into your renderer. This is one of the benefits you can see in the Zombie scans we produced.
Miriam-Sandra Sarbu: For efficient optimization of materials and shaders one would generally use the same software used when initially creating the materials from scratch. So Substance Painter and Substance Designer. But, usually, most game studios would want to create their own materials and shaders , according to their already established Stylistic Vision.
How time-consuming is the whole process?
James Hanline: That is a little bit like asking how long is a piece of string. This depends on quite a few things. Such as the size, shape and location of the subject being scanned, as well as camera settings, lenses used, lighting, image quality, and the software used.
We generally work with the more professional photogrammetry software. In the case of the Zombie scans, Agisoft Photoscan Pro was used. If you're 3D scanning a rock, and process it in Photoscan, it could take you anywhere between 1 hour and 10 hours. Depending on the number of photos taken, how high a quality setting you want. As well as the actual quality of the images taken, lighting, focus, number of images the software actually aligned.
Whether you want it UV'd, retopologised, with specular, displacement, normal, albedo, or cavity maps. This would all come down to the workflow each person uses and how badly they needed a realistic 3D rock!
But if you're looking to create a highly detailed scan of a sculpture the same size as a person. Including the scanning and processing time to create a RAW scan, you could be looking at 16 hours on a standard workstation. About 4 – 6 hours of which would be man-hours.
There are many different scenarios. However we can count on the fact that the capture artists we have signed on work hard, so you don't have to.
Scanning Environments
James Hanline: Well, scanning environments can also be achieved using photogrammetry. With the use of a drone and a camera on a flat-lit overcast day, you can capture almost any structure or environment. It comes down to getting the right images to then piece together in the software later and create that 3D model.
Other methods, like LiDAR systems, have traditionally been used to capture large environments. It's fast and efficient and didn't used to take as long as taking 500 images of a church for example. But photogrammetry drone users are getting better and better, optimizing their workflow to create some incredible scans of architecture.
The main different with scanning a structure or environment is it's not likely to move. Scanning a person, you need a photogrammetry rig as people will move. If the subject being scanned moves in 3D space while you're moving around taking images of them, the software will have trouble aligning the cameras when you come to process it. A static object or structure doesn't have this problem, so you can take as many photos as you like (within reason!).
Scans For Games
Miriam-Sandra Sarbu: All scans potentially work with games, as all scans can be made game-ready, the most important thing to remember is polycount, optimized topology flow and efficient UV-mapping.
James Hanline: You can basically get any scan into a game engine these days. Poly budgets have been getting much higher, allowing for better quality, perfectly suited for 3D scans. But the old method of low poly topology and use of normal maps still plays a part.
A key thing is what you want that scan to do in your game. Is it a static background object or moving part? Scans work great as static objects. They're from the real world and look realistic with little effort from the 3D artist.
But they're also great as moving, animated models. Particularly when married with motion-capture data sets. As long as the scan has been retoplogised and rigged. Which as mentioned earlier, can be done pretty quickly these days with tools like Topogun and Wrap3.
3D scans are increasingly being used by AAA studios. Dice's use in the Frostbite Engine in Star Wars Battlefront and Battlefield 1 show how effective they can be.
Our goal is to make this accessible to all studios. Powered by a community of capture artist passionate and driven by what they do. Creating the best 3D scans out there.

A California test mired in controversy
The California High School Exit Exam is the best gauge to measure student achievement, exam supporters tell Brandon Bridges. But Bridges also hears from exam critics; they say the test undermines students with special needs and limited English abilities. The California controversy is the latest skirmish in a wider national debate over the role of testing in schools.
A CLOSER LOOK: A student wonders why he has to learn U.S. history for the exit exam when most of the history presented in textbooks isn't his.
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM: Inspired teaching isn't always conducted in school. That's the lesson offered by Sara Garcia, a South Los Angeles high school teacher who takes extraordinary measures to help three special needs students pass the California High School Exit Exam.

Special Report
Newcomers face poverty, hostility
Schools have struggled with educating immigrant children ever since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 26 years ago that schools must educate the children of newcomers, regardless of their immigration status. Gloria Angelina Castillo takes us to Charles White Elementary School, where a majority of the students are newcomers. She finds that despite an accomplished teaching staff, the school is failing to educate immigrant children in a variety of ways and for a number of reasons -- and that, says a USC public policy professor, has longterm consequences for the U.S.
VIDEO: Visit Charles White Elementary School west of downtown Los Angeles and see what is, and isn't happening, for immigrant children.
[Watch Spanish translation here.]
VIDEO: Gloria Angelina Castillo interviews Dowell Myers, a professor at USC's School of Policy, Planning and Development and the author of Boomers and Immigrants: Forging a New Social Contract for the Future of America. Myers offers his assessment of immigrants and their impact on U.S. life.
A CLOSER LOOK: For immigrant families whose children attend Charles White Elementary School, education is often overshadowed by economic hardship and deportation worries.
MULTIMEDIA: Read the 1982 U.S. Supreme Court decision, or listen to the oral arguments, in Plyler v. Doe. In a 5-4 ruling in the Texas case, the court opened the school doors to all newcomers, regardless of their immigration status. (Brief and oral arguments courtesy of the Oyez Project.)
OTHER VOICES: Hate crime against immigrants and native-born Latinos is increasing across the U.S., reports the Southern Poverty Law Center. Media coverage is also flawed, with journalists using inaccurate statistics in poorly-framed stories about newcomers. See a compilation of SPLC's reports.

Have a Question About This Yacht?
Fill out the form below and we will get back to you quickly!
Elegant yacht, 51′ Lagoon catamaran DIANNA ROSE, will be available for charters out of Georgetown, Exumas from August 1st to October 25 this summer, 2017. Following a charter, booked in the Virgin Islands in July, she will be making the journey, and she has a wonderful new crew this year, only they are not new to chartering or neophytes in any way! Captain Joseph Stiles is a yacht owner and a professional chef, who got his start in the yacht charter industry whilst working as chef aboard the 120′ Broward Freedom in the Virgin Islands. His wife, Britta, arrived in the Virgin Islands as a scuba instructor, working in dive shops on Tortola. This chef turned captain and his mermaid wife bring to Dianna Rose the credentials to offer a vacation of a lifetime.
DIANNA ROSE charges $15,000 to $18,000 a week all inclusive for parties of two to six while in the Virgin Islands. Rates reduce for parties of five, four and three respectively. They remain the same, regardless where you go: USVI, BVI, or the Spanish Virgin Islands. Also, DIANNA ROSE is open to cruising down island among the Windward and Leeward Islands. DIANNA ROSE is actually discounting her rates for charters in the Exumas this summer (August 1-October 25, 2017). $14,500 to $16,500 all inclusive is all they charge for two to six guests per week, and this includes the 4% Bahamian Tax. Halfboard Rates are available as well. For $150 a week per person off, guests can take three lunches and four dinners ashore and not have to pay for that meal twice: once aboard and a second time ashore. Combine a 4 day charter with a 3 day island stay at Beachfront Villa on Little Exuma and pay only 6 pax $15,000, 4 pax $14,500, and 2 pax $14,000 total for four nights. Christmas and New Year's weeks are presently open in the Virgin Islands. The yacht requires the six passenger minimum rate for each week, plus 15% and asks that New Year charters begin on or after December 28th, 2017.
Joseph trained in both the Culinary Arts and Patisserie and Baking from Western Culinary Institute in Portland Oregon, while Britta qualified as a PADI dive instructor in 2005 working at local dive shops and in the hospitality industry where she was able to take advantage of some of the best scuba diving in the Caribbean. The intricate knowledge of this world class sailing destination that they possess will leave guests breathless with memories to last a lifetime.
We Never Had Better Food: "We were absolutely blown away! The food and the service were absolutely amazing! I have never had better food. I don't think there is a restaurant in Boston that can match Josephs menu! The boat was impeccably clean. Britta was also an amazing host! We wanted for nothing! We will be back next year! ~Deirdre G"
Dianna Rose is 55 feet of spacious, modern luxury catamaran. The light wood and modern accents give this charter yacht a sophisticated feel. 3 large queen guest cabins (including one large master cabin with lounge) offer complete privacy with ensuite electric heads and separate showers. The upper flybridge provides a bird's nest view of the sailing and a great place to feel the breeze while toasting the green flash.

Today (Sunday) featured a cabin fever-inspired DASH TO THE COAST. A let's get out of here and go there be ready in 45 minutes kind of deal. It was excellent.
The photo above was taken through the window on the way out. (you can kind of see a reflection and there are raindrops on the glass.) I would have rolled the window down but it was too cold plus I keep picturing my phone/camera flying out the window.

Water and the Law
Towards Sustainability
Edited by Michael Kidd, Loretta Feris, Tumai Murombo and Alejandro Iza
Chapter 10: Weighing of interests in the Finnish Water Law – from financial evaluation to normative weight of interests
Niko Soininen
The Finnish Water Act (referred to hereafter as Water Act) has been in force since the beginning of 2012 and is mostly based on the old Water Act of 1962. After the enactment of integrated pollution prevention in the Finnish Environmental Act, the Water Act has only regulated structural altering of water bodies, which covers all forms of water-related projects, excluding alteration of a water body through pollution. The requirement to apply for a water permit is based on a list of certain projects, which always have to have a permit regardless of the effect the project has on the environment or other interests protected by the Water Act. A permit is always required, for instance, for the closing or narrowing of a waterway used for transport, timber floating or the passage of fish, building of new hydro-power plants or groundwater abstraction-projects when the abstracted amount of water exceeds 250 m_ a day. The requirement to apply for a water permit can also be based on the effects a certain project has on the water-related interests protected by law. The criteria to apply for a permit are threefold: the project must be geographically identifiable (in land or water area), it must cause physical change in the water area, and it has to violate private or public interests listed.

Kirchhoff Thermodynamics Essay
792 words - 4 pages
In thermodynamics, Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation, or Kirchhoff's law for short, is a general statement equating emission and absorption in heated objects, proposed by Gustav Kirchhoff in 1859, following from general considerations of thermodynamic equilibrium and detailed balance. An object at some non-zero temperature radiates electromagnetic energy. If it is a perfect black body, absorbing all light that strikes it, it radiates energy according to the black-body radiation formula. More generally, it is a "grey body" that radiates with some emissivity multiplied by the black-body formula. Kirchhoff's law states that: At thermal equilibrium, the emissivity of a body (or

According to natural selection the members of the bird species with the smallest useless wing would be the most adaptable and most likely to survive in the largest numbers. After all that is said, still, evolutionist believe that some birds got tired of carrying around a worthless half-size wing so they grew fingers on the end to help climb trees. The wings became arms and a new species was developed. Likewise, the second law of thermodynamics is an intriguing topic that Creationist and Evolutionist tend to use to prove their theory.

Evolution Model of Origins. This theory speculates that the design permeating all things is a product of random chance and excessive time. Evolutionists do quite well in terms of theoretical science, but fail to find empirical evidence. Evolutionists theorize that the universe, with all that it contains like, space, time, matter and energy, exploded from nothing. This is contrary to the First Law of Thermodynamics. Where did space, time, matter and energy come from in the first place, for evolutionists, the ultimate question of Origins remains unsolved. To complicate the Evolutionary position, this original explosion of everything from nothing is unable to explain all of the

applied in many chemical industries, including the Haber process, and the Contact process. Henri Louis Le Chatelier Through Le Chatelier's studies on cements, he became interested in the applications of thermodynamics to chemistry. It was while working with thermodynamics that he devised what became known as The Equilibrium Law. Using The Equilibrium Law as a guide the efficiency of chemical processes can be improved by shifting a system to yield more of the desired product. By applying the Le Chatelier Principle, he accomplished the synthesis of ammonia in 1901, anticipating Fritz Haber. The Haber process The Haber process is the most common industry method for producing Ammonia

, warnings of impending environmental cataclysm are used to advance an ethical agenda. However, arguments to the effect that eating meat is "destroying the planet" overlook that the planet has not yet been destroyed despite millions of years of omnivorous and carnivorous eating by millions of individuals from a multitude of species. The Second Law of Thermodynamics dictates that some energy will be inevitably lost as one moves up the food web. Therefore, arguments about how it takes X pounds of plant protein to generate Y pounds of meat have a sound theoretical basis. However, these arguments are often overstated. These arguments falsely assume that pork chops and steak are the only products of

that an individual's total personality and reactions at any given time are the product of the interaction between their conscious/unconscious mind, genetic make up and their environment. In medical practice, psychodynamics is defined as the systematized study and theory of the psychological forces that underlie human behavior, emphasizing the interplay between unconscious and conscious motivation and the functional significance of emotion. The original concept of "psychodynamics" was developed by Sigmund Freud who, in the late 1870s, began to apply the principles of thermodynamics, predominantly those of Hermann von Helmholtz, to psychology. Freud suggested that psychological processes are

The main principle involved with "order-from-disorder" is the second law of thermodynamics, according to which entropy only increases. Schrödinger explains that living matter evades the decay to thermodynamical equilibrium by feeding on negative entropy. In chapter VII, he maintains that "order-from-order" is not absolutely new to physics; in fact, it is even simpler and more plausible. But nature follows "order-from-disorder", with some exceptions as the movement of the celestial bodies and the behaviour of mechanical devices such as

The symbol associated with enthalpy is H and the symbol referring to a change in enthalpy is H. Since H is defined as the change in thermal energy in a system and the 1st law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, then the energy released by the surroundings when added to the energy lost by the system must equal 0 as seen in the equation below.

known as the refrigerant, and when used in the refrigerator, evaporates at a fairly low temperature. This causes the cold temperatures within. It is based on physics, and the 2nd law of thermodynamics. A liquid is vaporized through compression, which requires kinetic energy. This draws the energy needed from the direct area; causing a loss in energy and then it becomes cooler. The simple parts of a refrigerator include the compressor, two sets of heat exchanging pipes, an expansive valve, and the refrigerant. The refrigerant is almost always ammonia because it evaporates fast. All in all, the primary means of refrigeration is the rapid expansion

differences between heat and temperature are What are the various properties of a substance that determine its heat capacity? The root of what determines a substances heat capacity is a course in statistical thermodynamics. However, there is a general rule; the larger and freer the molecules are, the greater their heat capacity will be. In other words, the more the degree of freedom the atoms or molecules making up a substance have, and the greater the heat capacity will be. A materials heat capacity is a measure of how much energy must be exchanged between an object and its environment to produce a chance in temperature; it is a measure of an objects capacity to hold heat.

Whether or not the literary community must be aware of the second law of thermodynamics, and whether Dickens is any kind of literary milestone for the natural scientists is questionable – they are not equivalent in any way. Because of the technical nature of contemporary scientific discourse, and the increasing and complex body of work in the social sciences, the k gulf will only widen as knowledge progresses. However, the point he is trying to establish is that there must be some common ground between the two, a basic and rudimentary knowledge of each other's disciplines. But is this bridging necessary

: "What is Life?" The following year the lectures were turned into a book of the same name. One of Schrödinger's key aims was to explain how living things apparently defy the second law of thermodynamics – according to which all order in the universe tends to break down. It was this that led my colleague Professor Brian Cox to use Schrödinger as the starting point of his BBC series Wonders of Life, leading to What is Life? shooting up the Amazon sales chart. But Schrödinger's book contains something far more important than his attempt to fuse physics and biology. In that lecture 70 years ago, he introduced some of the most important concepts in the history of biology, which continue to

God even lay the foundation for Israel's workweek and them understand the value of the Sabbath as sign of the Mosaic Covenant. An argument against evolutionary theory is the fact that the act of creation was finished after the sixth day. This is the accord with the law of thermodynamics, which states the universe is closed and cannot expanding no longer. Then, God said, "Let's create man in Our image, according to Our likeness." "God

We saw examples of this in the German, Austrian and Prussian wars of 1866 and then the Franco-Prussian war that followed shortly thereafter. Industrialization also played a role in the arms race that preceded World War One. As new developments in ballistics, thermodynamics, steel production and more efficient engines were created this technology allowed the major European powers to create large armies, navies, and caches of arms

gratification becomes the primary focus of life. What greater intrinsic joy is there than the imposition of power? Violence is the easiest tool to achieve that power. According to the second law of thermodynamics, all things tend to traverse from order to disorder. Therefore, great energy and effort must be put into creating an object of complex order. To destroy someone else?s creation requires very little energy and almost no effort. Thus, violent acts are an extremely expedient and rewarding method of exercising power.These deleterious values have engendered disturbing trends in our modern society.From 1960-1992, this country has witnessed a 41% population increase.

into mechanical energy The second law of thermodynamics states that any closed-loop cycle can only convert a fraction of the heat produced during combustion into mechanical work. The rest of the heat, called waste heat, must be released into a cooler environment during the return portion of the cycle. The fraction of heat released into a cooler medium must be equal or larger than the ratio of absolute temperatures of the cooling system (environment) and the heat source (combustion furnace). Raising the furnace temperature improves the efficiency but complicates the design, primarily by the selection of alloys used for construction, making the furnace more expensive.

mathematical models based on physical principles including fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and radiative transfer. Although they attempt to include as many processes as possible, simplifications of the actual climate system are inevitable because of the constraints of available computer power and limitations in knowledge of the climate system. All modern climate models are in fact combinations of models for different parts of the Earth. These include an atmospheric model for air movement, temperature, clouds, and other atmospheric properties; an ocean model that predicts temperature, salt content, and circulation of ocean waters; models for ice cover on land and sea; and a model of heat and

The Separation Of Capital Ownership And Control
1577 words - 7 pages
The argument of whether the separation of capital ownership and control is an efficient form of organization has constantly been a controversial issue. The criticism whether the controllers' act is in the best interest of the owners' wills never end as long as hired managers operate management. As the number of public companies has been increasing over the course of this century, meanwhile the American style of contact based corporation has become more common as well, the so-called "agency problem" has been concerned and examined more frequently from wider aspects. The common theory agreed by literates is that they consider that hired managers do not have to act exactly as they promised to

In April 1, 2002, organic light emitting diodes gain rise in the scientific community with their published, more practical form at Ames Laboratory. "Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, in collaboration with scientists at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, have developed and demonstrated a novel, fluorescence-based chemical sensor that is more compact, versatile and less expensive than existing technology of its kind. The new sensor holds promise for myriad potential applications, such as monitoring oxygen, inorganic gases, volatile organic compounds, biochemical compounds, and biological organisms."(Johnston). Ames Laboratory has been a driving force in
Comparing The Moral Virtues Of Antony And Julian The Apostate
1103 words - 5 pages
Roman emperor Julian the Apostate and Christian leader Antony both exhibited many qualities of character during their existence. Both of them led very distinctive lives although shared several ethical values. Book 25 of "The Later Roman Empire" and the book "Early Christian Lives" show concrete evidence of this. In the following essay, I will argue how both leaders' lives were devoted to their religious beliefs and their mutual cardinal virtues. Regardless of the fact that Julian and Anthony did not practice the same religion, they both shared a particular devotion to their beliefs. From a very young age, Antony was exceptionally religious. As a child, he delighted in going to church to

Patience in trading is hard to manage sometimes, but when we have patience, we can often squeeze out an extra few dollars from a trade. That's what worked for me today. I saw the premium for my July Facebook option was getting close to worthless, I figured I should roll it out and up. (Out means farther out on the calendar and up means at a higher strike.) I knew I wanted to go out further than August, but not beyond 12 weeks out. That left September as an easy decision for the expiration. I considered the $190 strike. It had a potential annualized return of nearly 12% and a cushion of 8.75%, but I opted to push it a little more and went with a higher strike.
While FB was trading at $203.40, I sold one FB September $195 naked put for $6.00 and received $599.32 after paying $0.68 in commission. When I entered the order, the bid/ask was $5.80/5.90. If I was in a rush, I probably would've entered an order at $5.85 or maybe $5.90, but I know FB bounces around enough that I could possibly get a better trade if I applied a little patience, so I went with a $6.00 limit order. As luck would have it, FB closed lower on the day and I see the bid/ask at the close was $6.25/6.35, so I could've been even more patient.
I didn't enter the order as a combination because I was debating if I'd just let my July naked put expire worthless next week. After the September trade went through, I wised up and decided closing the July contract for a few dollars was smarter than risking some odd FB price slide in the next week and a half. While FB was trading at $203.35, I bought to close one FB July $180 naked put for $0.07 and paid $8.57 including $1.57 in commission. FB would've had to fall 11.51% to make this the better decision on simply a dollars and cents view, but the risk has to be included and I think spending $8.57 is worth removing the risk of getting stuck with an extra 100 shares if another scandal hits the social media company.
The good news on the September put is that I have a 3.12% potential gain, which comes out to 15.43% annualized. I have a 7.03% cushion before a loss. In other words, my break-even price for FB is $189.11 after deducting the premium from my strike. I don't think FB will fall below $195 based on the trend line of higher lows that started in the first half of May. If it does, $190 seems to be an area of strong potential support based on a trend line that goes back over six months. It used to be resistance and I expect it to become support if FB falls that low again. Also, the 50-day moving average is at $190.57 now and ascending at a fairly steep trajectory. The 100 and 200-day moving averages are roughly $0.50 above and below $180 and also ascending. I don't want to see FB fall into a correction (over a 10% decline) again, but I would expect such a price reset to be met with a strong bounce back. For now, FB isn't giving me any reason to doubt its stability, which doesn't mean I'm going to ignore any headlines that could change my mind. I'll be watching closely for sure.

Andrew Lawson
Polyglot software engineer
I'm an experienced developer, currently a Backend Engineer at Monzo in London.
My programming experience ranges from programming in Scala, Go, NodeJS, PHP, occasionally Python and Java, and I'm always learning more. I'm quick at picking up programming languages and paradigms owing to frequently shifting between functional and object oriented projects in different languages. I am also somewhat experienced in dev-ops; creating build tools, deploying Docker containers, writing Ansible roles, configuring AWS and integrating CI.
I spend a good amount of my free time working on side projects and open source libraries, partly for self learning and progression but mainly because I enjoy solving hard problems. You can find links to my public projects and online profiles at adlawson.com.
Work Experience
Backend Engineer– Present
Technologies include Go, Cassandra, NSQ, Kafka. Working in the payments team on service reliability. More to follow…
OnTrack Retail
Technologies include Scala (w/ Akka, Cats), RabbitMQ, MySQL, Docker, Hashicorp suite (Consul, Vault), Ansible, AWS. Continuing again from my previous role in this company as the Head of Engineering, my role as CTO allows me to focus more on planning current projects and the future of the company's technology.
OnTrack Retail
Head of Engineering–
Technologies include Scala (w/ Akka, Cats), RabbitMQ, MySQL, Docker, Hashicorp suite (Consul, Vault), Ansible and AWS. Continuing from my previous role in this company as a Senior Developer, my role as the Head of Engineering involved organising our engineering and QA teams, shaping and simplifying our working processes, and meeting with technical clients and suppliers.
OnTrack Retail
Senior Developer–
Technologies included Scala (w/ Akka, Cats), RabbitMQ, MySQL, Ansible, AWS and Android. I also lead a team; running agile sprint planning, daily stand-up meetings, and conducting interviews. This project involved building a complex product within several very tight deadlines to delivery a new train ticket retail system. It was built for some of the country's largest train operators including Southern, Southeastern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express. The system was structured as a network of tens of microservices.
As well as the complex server-side systems I worked on, I also developed barcode and magnetic stripe encoders and a bluetooth printer driver for Android.
R&D Developer–
Technologies included PHP, NodeJS, Python, MySQL, Puppet and AWS. I think the product dispatch service is one of the projects I'm most proud of so far in my career. It has vastly improved the flexibility and the speed at which a large business can adjust to market demands and I hope the project continues to serve them well in the years to come. My role in Research and Development at Graze involved many different projects covering a large range of skills and technologies. I spent the first few months building and refining build tools, BDD tests, a database migration system and continuous integration. As a big advocate of open software, I helped the tech team contribute back to projects we used and open new projects up to the open community.
A large part of my the work was to redevelop the core product dispatch system to help the software scale with the business. This system was the first to be separated from the core service into its own microservice. After many months of group and A/B testing, the new system was gradually released to the rest of the customer base. As of December 2014, its picking algorithms were used to create orders for tens of millions of customers.
Technologies included NodeJS, MongoDB, Redis and AWS. As a part-time project I was initially reluctant to list it as work experience, but the range of skills and knowledge I have aquired deem it suitable. The original server needed redevelopment to progress the project, so I was given free reign over the development. I rebuilt the server in NodeJS for the RESTful web service, the web socket server, and the authentication server. I was also responsible for most aspects of the server infrastructure like the databases, caching, and load balancing.
Technologies included PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML and CSS Taken on as a mid-level backend developer, my role had grown from being "The PHP Guy" to being a key member of the architecture team of the new, upcoming platform. Since working there, I had grown as a developer and an engineer; working in JavaScript and CoffeeScript alongside PHP on the backend.
Fully Charged
Technologies included PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML and CSS, Photoshop and Illustrator Freelance work under my own company, specialising in application development and system setup. Running my own company, I was a client facing developer advocating the need for tested, stable applications.
I learned a huge amount while working for myself, specifically in unit testing and separation of logic (besides all the administration work that comes with running a business).
