Brian Leahy

Game Developer, CEO
Summary I am a skilled software / hardware developer with over 40 years experience. I'm currently looking for a position as a software or system architect. My ideal work is translating a vision or idea into well-designed code, and supporting a team in implementing the project and crafting solutions as we go. Also translating what the development team is doing back to the visionaries and market experts. I enjoy working with a team, helping people work together and find their own strength and group synergy. Though I also work well on my own. I have always loved puzzles, and finding an elegant solution. and I'm an excellent bug squasher Lately I've been learning about, and fascinated by, AI and machine learning, especially since AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol. I am a 3dan US amateur Go player. I'm exploring ways to use machine learning to make better computer opponents in computer games.
