Born in Iran, left after 2 years. Still Iranian, more than anything else.
Lived in Sweden for 7 years. Yes, I believe strongly in Socialism!
Finished growing up in CT. Summary: pretty & boring.
Went to college at RIT in Rochester, NY, studying Computer Science. Spent most of it fucking around with coding projects & game development.
Interned as a programmer at Aetna, in Hartford, CT. Boring as hell! Almost quit programming.
Interned as a programmer at Everest VIT (now GE). Also boring, but slowly learning the warning signs at interviews.
Interned as a programmer at Microsoft Game Studios, mainly working on Forza 2. Very fun, learned a lot, including that I don't like the game industry, even though I -love- game development.
Moved to San Francisco to work at VMware for 2 years. Fun at first, but a bit irrelevant & unfulfuling.
Quit and moved to New York to find something more exciting. @ArcticTony stole me for chartbeat on my second day in NY.
