About me

I am currently working at Gearbox Software as a coder on Borderlands 2 and previously shipped Borderlands and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. I have mostly specialized in the Xbox 360 platform, specifically certification and online functionality. Prior to Gearbox, I worked at the now-defunct Ritual Entertainment in QA where I helped ship SiN Episodes: Emergence (+ Sin 1 on Steam and its Multiplayer component).

My experience includes a thorough knowledge of C#, C/C++, and varying knowledge of other languages such as Java, Ruby, Lua, TCL, HTML, PHP, SQL, and others.

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
Brothers In Arms: Hell

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is the third entry in the Brothers in Arms series of video games which follows the men of the 101st Airborne Division (502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment). This game once again puts players in the role of Staff Sergeant Matt Baker during Operation Market Garden in the later stages of World War II.
