About
Hi, I'm Spencer Fisher and this is my portfolio website. I'm a software engineer who has dabbled in many different areas from game development, front-end development, simulations and procedural generation! I love learning new technologies and often experiment with new projects and ideas.
Software Engineer & Developer
I've been working as a software engineer professionally since 2016 building backends and improving legacy infrastructure!
- Birthday: 24 Jan 1992
- Age: 32
- Year of Experience: 7
- City: Seattle, Wa
During my software engineering career I've worked with a variety of technologies and languages, with c# and python being the ones I'm most familiar with (and enjoy working with the most!). I've built a whole bunch of different projects in that time, from improving our internal scheduler to creating a new system to handle non-code data promotions. Even building cross cloud functions to be able to send arbitrary data between our Azure and AWS cloud databases! Delving into our legacy codebase looking for clues to uncover the origin of an obsure or intermittent bug is second nature and I've yet to find a bug stealthy enough to evade me.
Stats
Heres some quick stats based of my recent github account activity. Generation of these stat cards is also controlled by a repo I've created!

Resume
Hi I'm Spencer, a technically proficient software engineer seeking a full-time position working on a project that creates a real difference for its users. I have a keen eye for spotting potential issues and an expert at finding out why something isn’t working as expected. Worked primarily with c# for the last 7+ years with several years of experience using python and js. Let’s build some awesome new technologies together!

Projects
Project pics
- A cross-platform photo organization app. Backend is powered by AWS Amplify with storage in S3. Frontend is built using Flutter and dart. It's fully responsive with near instant load times for photos!
Godot Survivors
- A coop survivors genre game with full multiplayer networking. Utilizing peer to peer connections and sockets. The game is fully server authoritative with clients only submitting inputs and attempting to predict actions/movements with the server updating to their final positions.
Planetary Simulation
- A simple planetary simulation with n-body physics. Supports several hundred bodies with real-time physics calculation. Automatic error checking decreases step size when body forces are extremely high.
Professional Experience
