Robert Madsen @MadRobert

I began my information technology career in 1980, starting as a computer operator. Having taught myself to program in BASIC, I went on to conquer COBOL and FORTRAN. Since then I have had a varied and successful career holding positions as a programmer, technical writer, coordinator of data security and coordinator of disaster recovery for several large corporations.

In 1992, I established my own consulting firm specializing in custom software development and technical training. I have taught thousands of people how to better utilize their computers and how to program over the years. Venues have included corporate and government offices, universities, colleges, and online training.

I currently specialize in game, web, and mobile software development. My portfolio of languages includes C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, Python, Java, JavaScript, ASP, ASP.NET, and Php, to name a few. I have developed games and other applications for the PC, Mac, Web, Facebook, XBox, Wii, iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows Phone. I am currently the studio director for SynapticSwitch, LLC and indie game studio I founded in 2010.
