Please allow me to introduce you to the two new hires who will be joining us July 6th. Paulette didn't have to be the new person on the team for very long.

Joshua Utter joins us as our new C# Software Developer. He is fresh out of school with a B.S. in Computer Science from Western Oregon University. He was the President of the Byte Club at the university and he excels at database design, SQL, Python, C, C++ and C#. He has some background in PHP and MySQL development too. He has also taken elective courses in parsers and lexers. He is an avid tabletop roleplaying player and DM, and he spent a good deal of time designing and writing his own tabletop roleplaying game simulator. He worked as an intern where he focused on automation and impressed his bosses there. We haven't told him about the annual Josh battle yet.

Jean-Paul Barard joins the team as a dedicated Video Game Tester. He has 11 years of experience testing all aspects of video games. He joined the gaming industry in 1997 working with a company called Interactive Magic. He then moved to Timeline Entertainment where he worked on a video game based on Michael Crihchton's best selling book Timeline. From there, he worked the majority of his career at Vicious Cycle where he worked on games such as Robotech: Invasion, Dinotopia, Dora the Explorer, Curious George, Despicable Me, Dead Head Fred, Spy vs Spy, Ben 10 Galactic Racing, and many other titles.

Hi everyone! And should I be worried about the above?

How familiar are you with the movie Highlander?

Ah yes. Does it matter if my name is Joshua rather than just Josh?

Hey, all this is JP, thanks for the kind welcomes! So there can be only one eh? Now, where did I put my steel necktie?

Oh, question, should I make a new profile for the forum. I made this one when I was a player in a Strahd campaign.

Welcome!

Nah don't make a new one, if you want a name change I am sure one of the team can change it for you. Just do it before you use the steel necktie ;)
