Ali was one of the 12 people that started the Surface team in Microsoft and today he runs the Software Development and PM teams for the Surface division. He chose Computer Science because “it gives you so much freedom, it seems like you can do anything with it” or it may have been because he was not smart enough for physics, and math seemed like too much work. Cheryl Platz is a Senior User Experience Designer at Microsoft, where she is designing the next generation of automobile infotainment systems for automakers like Ford. Her diverse experience as a designer and producer spans multiple industries – she has designed for billion-dollar server products and a variety of video games, theme parks, and websites. Greg Schechter has been a {Programmer, Software Developer, Software Architect, Software Engineer – take your pick :)} and an Engineering Manager for 25 years at Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, and now Facebook. Greg’s worked on a whole bunch of different projects and products, always keeping his hands dirty in writing and debugging code. After all these years he still loves coding, learning new systems, thinking about code, and building software systems. As a game developer with more than 22 years in the industry Patrick Wyatt has helped build small companies into big ones (VP of Blizzard, Founder of ArenaNet, CTO of NCsoft, COO of En Masse Entertainment); lead the design and development efforts for best-selling game series (Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft, Guild Wars); written code for virtually every aspect of game development (networking, graphics, AI, pathing, sound, tools, installers, servers, databases, ecommerce, analytics, crypto, dev-ops, etc.); designed many aspects of the games he’s shipped; run platform services teams (datacenter operations, customer support, billing/accounts, security, analytics); and developed state-of-the-art technologies required to compete in the AAA+ game publishing business. Ali is presenting with Ricardo Lopez- Barquilla, Electrical Engineer with PhD. in Digital Signal Processing. Ricardo runs a Design Verification and Test team for Microsoft’s Surface. Prior to Microsoft, Cheryl shipped over half a dozen video games on multiple platforms for Electronic Arts, Maxis, Disney Interactive Studios, and Griptonite Games.
