About Me - Spirited

Gareth

Software Engineer

Hello! I’m Gareth, but most people online know me as Spirited. I work as a Software Engineer in the game industry, specializing in high availability microservices for game systems. In my academics, I focused heavily on project courses in distributed systems, search systems, database design, networking, compilers, and system design. In my free time, I work on game server architecture projects and enjoy photography, videography, and IoT / home automation projects. This website is my portfolio for personal projects, so feel free to look around!

What I do

Here’s what I’m up to these days!

Microservices
Most of my personal projects involve game server and game microservice architecture. I’ve been working on service projects for over a decade now in multiple programming languages. Currently, I work on game services professionally in C++ and personally in Go.
Big Data
Worked on big data pipelines for call prediction machine learning using Spark and Hadoop. Wrote Jupyter notebooks for transforming raw input data from an IoT device ecosystem and extracting structured data into data lake storage.
Cloud Architecture
At prior positions, I lead architecture reform for multiple cloud projects. In those projects, I gained experience with global load balancing, availability zones, data pipelines, and service solutions in Azure and Google Cloud.
Database Design
A lot of my projects require persistent storage solutions for organizing and relating data. Outside of document storage, I use relational databases to link and view data given service scopes.
