Oorby

A screenshot of the Oorby Poker Site

Oorby is a programming game platform that strives to celebrate software development through social gaming. I recently left my cushy day job to pursue this dream and so far feedback has been pretty positive. Part of a 3 man team, I'm focused on crafting user experience in the game layers, design of all user facing artifacts and front end development. Oorby is making extensive use of long-polling ajax calls to provide an interactive experience with the other humans and bots on our system.
