EA Canada Onboarding & Web Dev
Client: Electronic Arts Canada
Role: Software Engineer (Co-op), SE Onboarding Workshop Facilitator (Contractor)
Dates: Jan. 2006 – Aug. 2006; Sept 2006 – May 2007
I was a co-op for the SE Onboarding program under Bert Sandie, which later became part of EA University. After my term ended, I continued TAing the Onboarding program while finishing my undergrad.
While I was there, I:
- built a Ruby on Rails prototype/app
- maintained a Perforce-metrics gathering system in C#
- ran a monthly, four-day C++ mini-game workshop for engineers learning about EA technologies and development practices
- wrote accompanying documentation and assessments for the engineers coming through said workshop
- ran a workshop for DD Onboarding
I met a lot of smart people, and had a lot of fun.
Disclaimer: If my language seems vague here, it's because I'm not sure what I'm allowed to mention. I do have sketches of the interfaces I produced somewhere, but I'm not posting them because they belong to EA.
