About Me[edit]
I've been in the game development industry since 1997, when I started work on my first commercial game (Deer Hunter). That game was completed in just over 11 weeks. My latest project is Guild Wars 2, completed in just over five and a half years. I'm a senior programmer on the ArenaNet engine team.
Guild Wars 2[edit]
The ArenaNet engine team is responsible for the behind-the-scenes technical work that presents the game to you on your machine. My job is to develop and maintain the cinematics and audio engine, as well as the tools those teams use to create and/or integrate the game content. It's just a few days to launch as I type this... we're all super excited (and a tad nervous). It's not everyday that five and a half years of my work gets put online for the world to see. My hope is that many people make lots of great memories in Guild Wars 2, enjoying their time in the world we spent so long crafting.
