"Robert has been working with us first as a playtester and more recently helping research iBooks technology and programming a new kids app. He's been a pleasure to work with, always excited to take on new challenges, meticulous in his testing (found several important bugs we had missed), and a very quick study. He takes direction well and is very self-motivated. We look forward to working with Robert again."

Interests
I have always had a keen interest in games and game and software development.
In my spare time I enjoy working on the open source project ScummVM. I have supplied patches to the project for the SCUMM engine which runs Lucasarts point and click adventure games. These patches have made it into the main program. I have also worked upon the ScummVM Teen Agent engine, which is a re-implementation of a classic Polish adventure game, implementing some of the game play features.
