Life at Bioware / Current Ventures
I haven’t been short of superbly busy lately. 
. My position at Bioware is turning out to be not only fun, but a great learning experience as well. There are so many experienced people here that it’s impossible not to learn from them (not that I’m trying to not learn. I can’t help but be a knowledge sponge). The project I’m working on is massive and the codebase is as one may say, “ginormous”. Working on such a large project really helps drive home how important it is to write clean code. Each day I am driven to write cleaner, more robust code that is also very maintainable. With this effort comes much refactoring, but the end result saves so much more time in debugging, that it is definitely worth doing.
So outside the outside of the amazing realm of Bioware (who will have amazing showing at E3 this year btw), I’ve been doing research on the business side of gaming. There’s been talks of a company start-up and my business partner Casey and I have already started on some strong pieces of technology. Lately, I’ve been working on the networking side and have a solid start on a networking system that will be capable of game joining, message sending, joining as a party, limited matchmaking, Host Migration, and of course being ported to use on future projects. So I guess this translates into busy right?
On that note, work calls me back from lunch. Stay tuned for more updates on the first projects of the new start-up.
