Lawrence
"The Ladies Man"
Show BioLawrence is ever the ladies man as we jokingly call him (however we're sorry to inform the ladies he's very happily married). Lawrence is our Lead Quality Assurance guy and the one who tests everything that we want to put on the site to make sure it doesn't mess up when you use it! If it doesn't pass his tests, it doesn't make it to the site! Lawrence is usually one of the last guys to leave the office every night and when he's not working hard he enjoys spending time with his wife and awesome dog!! -
Ryan
"Mikey Blue Eyes"
Show BioHis real name is Ryan but Ryan aka "Mikey Blue Eyes" got his 50's persona name for flashing his big baby blues to charm his way into what he wants. He is WorldGaming's Director of Operations. He is responsible for the running of Customer Support which causes him to go insane from his Blackberry constantly going off. Ryan was born and raised in Chicago and is a huge sports fan and a die-hard Cubs fanatic, although don't get him started on the Cubs Curse. He's insanely neurotic so he naturally loves Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. He's considered to be the all-time greatest Seinfeld trivia master and no question regarding the show stumps him. When he's not working all hours of the day on the site, he spends his time running on of his 37 fantasy sports teams teams, drinking Jack on the rocks and eating peanut butter in heaping spoonfuls until he gives himself a stomach ache. -
Jack
"The Enigma"
Show BioJack is a WorldGaming Quality Assurance Analyst however his background is a mystery. The only thing we know is that he is possessed by some ancient elite QA spirits. His major responsibility is to ensure our great project is headed in the right direction. When we tried to inquire into more about him he simply said "The more you know, the more you know you don't know." It's safe to say that Jack is a mystery wrapped in a riddle!! -
Ijaaz
"The Mac Man"
Show BioHailing from the mean streets of suburban Toronto, Ijaaz is a senior system administrator who formed his own IT company right out of high school, taking it from a basement office to providing computer services to companies in 3 continents in under 3 years. Fast forward a few more years and his work securing and managing a massive credit/debit card transaction network helped provide the foundation needed to help manage and build the WorldGaming network. While not working or spending time with his wife and two lovely girls, Ijaaz likes to devote his energies to worshiping single malt scotches and smoking fine cigars. -
Eric
"The Only Sun"
Show BioEric is the quietest guy around the office, until he starts playing video games at which point he becomes the biggest animal! Eric is 32 and is a WorldGaming Coder who is originally from Beijing. He came to Toronto is 2005 and absolutely loves it here. Outside of work he doesn't have much time to do anything because he and his lovely wife are expecting their first child and she's too busy driving him crazy, but when she's not, he enjoys dominating his wife in squash and playing FIFA soccer online. He's a HUGE soccer fan and a strong supporter of Spain. His favorite player to watch is KaKa, although Eric claims he could easily beat KaKa is a contest of penalty kicks! -
Guy
"The Multitasker"
Show BioGuy is the one responsible for how the site behaves and how you interact with it, and it's causing him to lose sleep at night. Another reason might be waking up to change his son's diapers. Guy has been a jack-of-all-trades developer throughout his career, but is most enthusiastic about interaction design and user experience. When not at work, Guy enjoys playing with his son, making sweet sweet music on the guitar (pure noise, as some might say), reading, and even sneaking in a few minutes of Call of Duty. His hobbies also include trying to remember what a good night's sleep feels like. -
Lenny
"Low Chair"
Show BioLenny "Low Chair" is definitely the tallest guy on the WG team which is funny since he always keeps his chair so low to the ground! Standing a towering 6'8 with long black hair that has grown to over 2 feet in length, this gentle giant is a WorldGaming Developer who helps build tools within the site for internal use. Len really isn't human though, he's a Super Hero who goes by the name of OxMan in his 'other' life. He is an avid World of Warcraft player but that's recently taken a back seat to his old obsession "Street Fighter." He loves techno music, Superman and chicken fingers! -
Dmitri
"Big D"
Show BioDmitri is our main Web Development guy when it comes to WorldGaming design. The guy is a tireless worker who's always spreading his talents around and working on different exciting projects in addition to his WorldGaming work. He works seven days a week, and he rarely takes it easy, but he loves what he does, and he's damn good at it. Dmitri is easily the best dressed guy on the WG team which many of us marvel at. He's originally from Russia and came to Toronto with his beautiful wife of eight years and they have settled nicely into life here. He enjoys his coffee, red wines and dark beers and is a big fan of all types of music, but Zeppelin is his favorite thing to rock out to! -
Nadeem
"The Tiger"
Show BioExiting the jungle, Nadeem entered WorldGaming as a fresh junior designer. His expertise in design is shadowed by his paralyzing skills in NHL09 which frustrate thousands and have left hundreds undressed. Being the huge sports fan that he is, Nadeem participates in a Japanese Baseball league, in which his team has yet to win a game (we're all praying for you buddy). Living in Toronto, he's also a hardcore Maple Leafs fan, who believes the cup is "coming home" every year but sadly he has been disappointed for his first 21 years of living on earth. When hes not working, loosing baseball games or praying to Lord Stanley, Nadeem is a Dog Whisperer fanatic! He's a true dog lover without a dog but plans to get one soon. -
Rob D.
"The Italian Stallion"
Show BioRoberto recently graduated from college in Toronto with a degree in business. He joined WorldGaming as a Junior Marketing Associate and is one of our youngest member. Outside of work Roberto enjoys spending his free time working on his Fifa 09 skills which be boasts are superior to anyone in the office or in the world for that matter. He also likes chilling and going out with buddies for a few shots of tequila and is known to break out a few dance moves after the liquid courage kicks in! He is an avid traveler who has been to many places with his loving girlfriend, however, it's important to note that Roberto is one for hot tubs and if he can't find one when he's out traveling, he considers it a lame experience! -
Riley
"Mr. Nice Guy"
Show BioAs far as nice guys go, Riley is the Milhouse of WorldGaming. He always carries himself in a polite and respectful manner until you get him behind a console and the true sailor in him comes out! Riley is our Community Manager and makes sure all the users are happy while assisting them with any problems they might have on the site. He enjoys playing in his ice hockey league, high stakes gaming while defending his office supremacy in NHL 09 (he says he dominates Nadeem) and watching Roberto eat like an animal amongst other things. Never one to shy away from a party, Riley meshes well in any situation and does quite nice with the ladies so long as he doesn't have too much to drink in which case he has been known to crawl home. -
Mark
"Marcus Aurelius"
Show BioMark is a co-op from the University of Waterloo who'll graduate in about a year. His place of residence, London, is London Ontario, not England, but ironically he was born not too far from there. His passions include chilling with his bro's, playing games and sports, and sometimes being lazy (when there is no work to be done). Like many students, he's very poor and just trying to make it through university, struggling to pay the mountainous tuition fees and secretly saving a little on the side for a sweet ride. He plays guitar and enjoys watching movies with his girlfriend and is building up his defences for the upcoming zombie apocalypse due to hit in the year 2012. He hopes to travel around the world sometime and dislikes all Apple products, most of all, the Mac!
