Started as a QA Tester with the ultimate goal to work in EA's motion capture studio for video game animation. Due to my computer programming background and EE Degree from UM, I quickly rose to become the Database Manager acting as a liaison between the development and testing teams. I was then asked to contribute to the early development of NFL Street as a creative consultant, providing designers with suggestions and direction on XBOX, PS2, and Nintendo GameCube. Development of an in-house animation studio was delayed so I chose to leave and accept an assistantship from Dr. Shihab Asfour, chairman of the Industrial Engineering Dept. The assistantship at the University of Miami's Biomechanics Research Lab was part of an overall objective to work in motion capture and analysis. This allowed me to get hands on training with Vicon Motion Systems (used by Sony Pictures) and certified training in their BobyBuilder programming language.
