"Incredibly efficient" is what comes to mind when I think about Ian. I had the pleasure of working with him for the past 10 years at the Redalgo, XD and Imobo. Ian's ability to juggle multiple projects is unlike anything I’ve seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. A hands-on hardworking leader, who's gravity you end up leaning on. No matter how tense a meeting was or how complex a project designed, Ian left with a contagious calmness.

Backend Software Engineer and Project Manager of the educational game Operation Cosmos and Education Analytics report tool. Operation Cosmos is a serious game designed to teach kids math, reading, biology, physics and ethics. During the game, students have to solve puzzles and answer multiple choice answers. When I joined Redalgo team, my first task was to create a tool where educators could analyse any student performance report. This Education BIG DATA & Analytics platform shows several KPIs like, reading level, curiosity factor, software usage of each student, classroom and school. Fortunately in a short period I ended up also working on with game design, screenplay, educational content and educational puzzles. Operation Cosmos was awarded the best Brazilian serious game at 2009 and obtained a federal seal of approval from the Ministry of Education for quality and compliance. Show less
