Had a blast while working at Skype. I had the fortune to work with Sony on porting Skype to the PS Vita. Being a fan of games and handhelds, it was exciting having my professional life cross over to gaming for a short while.

One of the more interesting things involved in the PS Vita port of Skype was that I had to modify the Skype audio encoding to enable it to use a PS Vita hardware-accelerated audio codec for SILK, the first time that SILK had not been a software encoder for Skype. Luckily for me the Skype audio codec engineers are a fun, smart, flexible bunch. They took the time to explain the intricacies of the encoding path, and helped me find workarounds so that we could plumb it to a hardware version of the codec.
