Work Experience

Graduate Research Assistant, Entertainment Intelligence Lab (Prof. Mark Riedl), Georgia Tech (Aug 2009 Current)

- Developing a game engine for the iPhone for playing geo-location based games that require people to walk (uses iPhone GPS). Also

developing a unique, browser based, intelligent authoring tool for creating and sharing games for the engine. A game written for one

location can be converted into game for another location using the intelligent tool that uses Google Local Search API.

- The iPhone engine has an object-oriented design and is written in Objective-C. The Server uses Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. The

Authoring tool uses JavaScript and AJAX extensively. Games have stories in the form of dependency graphs represented in XML format.

- Responsible for all design and technology decisions.
