I was hired onto Retro Lab to help with military simulations and educational game development. At Retro Lab, I quickly improved my ActionScript3 skills and have since developed more than five training modules and games.

The Safety Doctor is a continuing education service that provides safety training and certifications to individuals and groups in Florida. Many of these certifications can be obtained through online courses. I worked closely with another programmer to develop a back-end system that would track the users time and progress throughout the course. Here I learned much more about database programming and the technologies available. Accomplishments:- Developed a bridge that sent data from the front-end (Adobe Captivate) to an AS3 widget, then to a PHP remoting library called AMFPHP, then to our PHP classes and ultimately to the MySQL database. This stream of data had to be sent both ways and was a fairly complex chain of events that would log most everything that the student would do while taking the course.- Organized and developed training videos according to specification requirements. These videos included animations, multimedia content, and section review quizzes.

I joined the Plainvue team to program an educational Flash-based game called Chainshooter. When the company transitioned into the mobile market, I ported Chainshooter to the iPhone and began working on other iPhone-based projects as well. I gained skill sets involving Torque Game Engine and TorqueScript. In addition to programming, I was also involved in the creative process and aesthetics. Accomplishments:- Developed custom scripts for resizing and pre-processing images for an iOS application.- Developed projectile system and enemy movement classes. - Converted flash animations to sprite sheets for importing into the game. - Worked on two iOS games that were released to market.
