Also oversaw R&D and did the network programming for various projects that were completed but not released publicly, including multiplayer remote gaming and audio/visual chat.

Additionally, joined in creative brainstorming sessions- contributing significantly to all aspects of the process.

All of the content was built modularly and allowed multiple targets- making the desktop app version a relatively straightforward conversion with few individual code changes.
