Role: Internal Alpha and Public Beta Coordinator

Where: Microsoft

When: 2010-2011

Over the course of several months, I facilitated game access and communications that began with a small internal Alpha and eventually evolved into a massive, long-lasting public Beta.

"Where I was expecting 'FarmVille meets Age of Empires,' I instead found a balanced, proven RTS formula that AoE fans are sure to enjoy."
