bs computer science
I graduated in 2009 from The University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.
For my internship, I worked on a iphone game using the Chipmunk physics engine to create levels for a character to traverse to reach their goal. Iphone development was still very cutting edge, the SDK was only a year old. Our project received a lot of attention for being creative and ambitious.
