In order to promote version 2 of the MSN search toolbar, we developed a global guiz contest that would be played out in real-time over the course of 4 weeks and may involve as many as 12 million users. I helped the team of designers and developers assemble the game assests, and developed the game logic that relies on Flash/XML communication with ASP.NET. We also did some sha-256 encryption to protect our users, and produced two versions in French and English.

In order to promote version 2 of the MSN search toolbar, we developed a quiz contest that would be played out in real-time over the course of 4 weeks.

As their lead front-end architect, I worked with a team of designers and developers, and was mainly responsible for programming the game logic that relied on Flash/XML communication with ASP.NET. We also did some complex 1024-bit encryption to protect our users, and produced two versions in French and English.
