Husband, father, mathematician and programmer. Math professor at University of Mary Washington. Interested in using math and computers to solve fun problems. Newbie gamedev, learning all I can of how math and programming can be used to make and/or improve games.

Stop hating on lazy people. We didn't even do anything.
Vague question I know. But I always tell my students that employers like math majors because they know how to think and can be taught the specifics of the job. I’m wondering how true that actually is (and if I can use it to switch professions 😊)
Curiosity question for any hiring managers in games industry or tech. What would you think if you saw a math professor’s resume come across your desk, for programmer job? Research in computational math, so considerable programming experience but never actually developed a piece of software or worked outside of academia. Would you be willing to take a risk on them, thinking you can use their math and problem solving and teach them the rest?

Time for an #introduction

I’m Emma, a freelance games journalist who loves writing about the weird and wonderful in games. Communities, mods, the history of my home town in AC Valhalla… I’ve done it all. (And sometimes some accompanying graphic design work too!)

Currently looking for new opportunities/ work within game dev so give me a shout if you’ve got anything interesting going on

I often use this site on mobile, and it seems there’s maybe a few different apps. Are there any good recommendations for apps to use on iPhone? Do we think more/better apps will be coming?
