My Employment History

Description: During summer 2004 and fall 2004, I had the privilege of being an intern at Backbone Entertainment as a game developer. I collaborated with the programming team to integrate our game engine, “Fox,” with a scripting language called Lua using C++ programming. I also worked with external developers in India , providing support and creating XML scripts for a revolutionary project for Disney. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to disclose any further information about this project till its completion. Through Backbone, I had the opportunity to work on various game titles, including Pixar's “The Incredibles: When Danger Calls,” Nickelodeon's “Fairly Odd Parents: Shadow Showdown,” and Valuesoft's “Tetris Elements.” I managed the various game development assets and graphics for the above mentioned titles. I also enhanced and fixed our proprietary graphical tools using C++ programming. Working with this team of highly talented engineers was very exciting and motivating.
