3/1/2011 – Last week I was laid off from my job at QUICKHIT. It was a great run while it lasted. So, I’m looking for a new game programming or QA position, and in the meantime there will be a lot of updates to this website.

6/13 – I attended Unity Day, the first meeting of the new Boston Unity Group. I wrote a small piece about it here.

10/12 – I managed to get a job as a QA Tester for Quick Hit!

07/30 – Things have been a bit slow lately, so I’m taking some time as an independent game developer to actually develop a game. Tentatively named Lockdown, I’ve set up its own page, as well as detailing my progress on the game in my blog.

05/12 – I attended the first annual Independent Game Conference East, held at Northeastern University. Additionally, as I’ll be participating in the Commencement ceremony on May 16^th at WPI, I’ve come to learn that I’ll be graduating With Distinction (WPI’s equivalent of cum laude).

03/10 – I made the WPI Dean’s List for the fall of the 2008-2009 academic year. Additionally, as it’s the end of the term, we’ve put together the release versions of the games I’ve been working on, Hooping and Barricade. See my portfolio for some more details about what I’ve done on those projects.

02/19 - I’ve updated my résumé, which I’m sure you’re anxious to read.

02/04 – Hear about the Global Game Jam and more (when I get the chance to write) in my new blog.

01/28/09 – Several items. One, I’m excited to be working with Darius Kazemi of Orbus Gameworks and Tiny Subversions in an IMGD Master Class about personal branding. We’ve updated our MQP project webpage to http://www.hooping-game.com – look for more updates coming from there soon. Also, I’ve gotten back a reply, and it looks like I’ll be participating in the Global Game Jam at the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab. Whoo! And, I’ve signed up for a Twitter account, in case anyone’s interested.
