Andrew Wooldridge’s Summary
I've been working in the technology world since '94 - having a range of jobs from a small modem company (Global Village) to a browser company (Netscape) to a huge multimedia company (AOL Time Warner) to another huge commerce company (Ebay) to a fun gaming magazine compay (ZiffDavis) to another huge web company (Yahoo) and now an awesome gaming startup called Raptr.
I always pride myself in knowing about that is the next "Next Big Thing" and acting on it. I specialize in javascript/html/xml development and have a good background with User Interface design as well.
My goal is to work at an exciting company creating new and interesting Rich Internet Applications.
I also have a great love for a new concept called Gaming 2.0 which seeks to bring together web techologies and ideas with gaming concepts. If you are a web based gaming company, or a new kind of social mmo - feel free to contact me..
