My job was to run the store during the afternoon to late, as well as a lock in (9pm - 9am). My tasks involved supervising the store whilst running events (Card games, Video Game Tournaments and anything in between). Over time this job taught me a great deal with how to handle customers, what to look for in making sure everyone is having fun, the importance of structure and leadership.

I worked at Woolworths in my local area in Melbourne, this was my only job through out High School. Being a Service Cashier and a Trolley Boy, my communications skills have grown tremendously, being able to have self confidence in approaching a customer or even appearing friendly enough to be approachable.Time management also plays a part in having to make sure all jobs are done in an allocated time frame.

This was our Major University project, we were given completely free range with no restrictions on what to create. I was fortunate to be given Team leader position, which I had to turn over 3 quarters of the way through the project due to personal problems. In the opening few weeks of the design phase, we as a team sat around and thought about current games at the time that really captivated us and what was popular also. Pokemon and League of Legends were to things that came to mind… Show more This was our Major University project, we were given completely free range with no restrictions on what to create. I was fortunate to be given Team leader position, which I had to turn over 3 quarters of the way through the project due to personal problems. In the opening few weeks of the design phase, we as a team sat around and thought about current games at the time that really captivated us and what was popular also. Pokemon and League of Legends were to things that came to mind, which was a chance for us to create something cool. During the process it was difficult trying to make sure everyone was able to work on something and maintain that constant workflow, but I believe in the end we got there. With a few headaches trying to work out networking for two iPads and allowing them to communicate on rapid basis was very time consuming but we accomplished it. The game was essentially summed up in the slogan for the game called Aquire, Assemble and Automate. We tried to build it to the point where the player was able to play the game with out anyone having to show them what to do, the player had to obtain some of the gear by opening packs which gave the player equipment to use. Then the player was to create a 'bot' by piecing together different styles of equipment such as head, torso, arms, legs which had special stats and moves. Which led the player to the next screen which was to choose whether to fight against AI or another player with their own personal bot built. During the play, it was turn based fighting which each player had to do a mini game to try and do the most damage. For example one ability was trying to touch as many flying gems that flew across the screen, if you hit them all it would do critical damage. Each part of their bot had a certain amount of health, which once it was destroyed it was no longer usable in the current battle, however it could be repaired later for a cost. The winner was then able to receive a generous amount of coins. Show less

Having the game be placed into a world the had universes called Pirate Universe, Slime Universe, Sports Universe and Alien Universe as well as the most important Flavourverse, it provided a challenge in what children aged between 6-15 actually enjoy whilst still promoting a healthy image.Developing a Design Document that was used as a Bible for the rest of the project was a big task but was needed to be done. It had turned out really well and much more relevant to the project then I had anticipated.I also helped out the Tech side of the project to work as a team developing more knowledge on the side of learning C# language.Also allowed me to attend Supernova 2012 Melbourne to showcase our game and gather valuable information, also allowed me to learn a handful of useful tips on QA (Quality Assurance).
