Employee Spotlight: Jeralyn Parchman - Software Developer at Marauder Tech Games
In our latest employee spotlight, we’re thrilled to introduce Jeralyn Parchman, Software Developer at Marauder Tech Games! Jeralyn’s vast experience and expertise have been instrumental in shaping our game development process, and today, we get a deeper look into her approach to clean, optimized coding, memory management, and the continuous learning that defines her role.
Balancing Clean Code with Rapid Iteration
When asked how she balances writing clean, optimized code while still moving fast in game development, Jeralyn highlighted the importance of consistent coding practices. At Marauder Tech, the team follows standard naming conventions and references, allowing them to scale the team efficiently without sacrificing code quality. Jeralyn also emphasized the value of code reviews, stating, "We look over each other's work and check for consistency. It’s a crucial step that ensures everything runs smoothly, even as we push to meet tight deadlines."
Memory Management in Mobile Development
For mobile development, memory management is always a top concern. Jeralyn, with her background in XR (Extended Reality), brings a wealth of techniques to optimize resource-constrained environments. Her approach focuses on minimizing unnecessary memory use and avoiding costly coding methods that can drain memory. She explained, "You want to avoid switching out too many materials or calling too many references at once. Keeping things lightweight is key to efficient mobile development."
Evolving Knowledge and Client-Server Development
One of the most valuable things Jeralyn has learned over time is the intricacies of client-server development. Early in her career, she focused mainly on single-device projects, but now, with Price of Glory, the development involves sophisticated communication between Unity’s client-side rendering and server-side gameplay logic. Jeralyn notes that this dynamic has been both a learning curve and an exciting challenge, as it’s broadened her understanding of managing gameplay across multiple platforms and devices.
Jeralyn’s forward-thinking mindset and dedication to constantly improving her craft make her an invaluable part of the Marauder Tech team!
