PROFILE
Nathan Berman
Nick Berman developed and maintained core simulation features for the wowsims/sod repository, focusing on hunter and pet mechanics, build configuration, and performance analysis. Over seven months, he delivered new presets, refined combat logic, and overhauled item and talent systems to align with evolving game phases. Using Go and TypeScript, Nick implemented robust backend logic for damage calculations, cooldown management, and AI behavior, while also enhancing test coverage and simulation accuracy. His work emphasized data-driven decision making, modular code structure, and maintainability, resulting in reliable, configurable simulations that support both end-user planning and ongoing balance iterations for game development.

May 1, 2025Month: 2025-05 — Performance summary for wowsims/sod development. What was delivered: - Hunter Pet APL Evaluation Fix: refined the conditional logic to require both the hunter's pet exists and is actively engaged before evaluating APL. This prevents incorrect APL outcomes when a pet is present but not active, improving simulation accuracy for pet-based builds.
