Rocco Balsamo IV: Game Programmer & Sexiest Geek Alive
 

Where I am Now

Residing in San Francisco, I'm currently a software engineer at Backbone Emeryville, a division of Foundation 9 Entertainment. Over the course of five years, I've been involved in the development of sixteen commercial titles, most notably Death Jr, Root of Evil for the PSP and Wii, and The Sims 2 for the PC. My most recent project was a reimagined port of Death Jr to the Wii.

*I don't want to take too much credit here. These are some titles that I helped out with for just a few weeks.

Why I'm on the Web

Having a cool website was a big factor in landing me my first game job, so I've always maintained a semi-up-to-date website. I'm not looking for new employment now, but I'm always open to talk if you think you have the right opportunity.

Also, I consider this my personal space to brag to my family and friends about all the awesome games that I've worked on. *wink*

Back in the Day...
