  GiganticMy responsibilities included finding, investigating, and documenting bugs, verifying bug fixes, and participating in impromptu and focused playtests. Although my primary tasks didn't change from when I was an intern, I found myself more involved in other aspects of development; I began working more closely with audio and gameplay engineers in the investigation and troubleshooting of bugs, interfacing more with the design team through dialogue evoked from playtest feedback, and came to know the team, the game, and the community much better than I had before.

  I worked as a guard at Pelican Bay State Prison - a supermax - home to "the worst of the worst". On good days my responsibilities included only menial tasks. On bad days my responsibilities included anything from riot control to medical escorts off-site and required the ability to make good decisions quickly in life-threatening situations. The position also required and refined extreme levels of both professionalism and attention to detail. I worked as a guard at Pelican Bay State Prison - a supermax - home to "the worst of the worst".
