Get to know Joby Joseph, Web Developer at CPX Interactive, and find out more about the games, quizzes and sites he works on.
1. Who are you and what do you do here at CPX?
Hello everyone, my name is Joby Joseph and I’m a web developer at CPX Interactive. I work for the mobile department where we develop all kinds of mobile websites and applications.
2. Can you tell me more about some of the projects you have worked on?
Developers in our department, including myself, are currently working on building quiz websites where web users can take fun quizzes, like ‘Who’s my Idol,’ ‘How Smart Are You?’ and more. I also have the responsibility of creating the quiz content management system, where some of our coworkers can create these quiz websites on their own, without the intervention of a web developer.
3. What did you do before you came to CPX?
Before working at CPX, I was doing pretty much the same thing. I worked as a web developer building content management system applications and building online newsletter websites. Every week, I developed an online newsletter that we sent out to over a million subscribers. It was an interesting experience, but I have to say, it wasn’t as much fun as working here at CPX!
4. What first got you interested in computers and web design?
I initially got interested in computers when I found out that you can make computers do whatever you want them to. Back in junior high, my teacher showed us a little program that would print different messages to the screen. The teacher would display a new quote from a famous person each day. It may not sound like much, but at the time, I thought it was so cool. From then on, I loved programming. Later in my school life, I learned how to write messages to my friends who had computers. It was then that I became cool.
5. You’ve worked on a number of fun projects with CPX’s creative team. Do you have a favorite?
In school, I learned a lot about programming, and I was motivated to learn new languages like actionscript. Working with CPX’s creative team, I’ve developed numerous flash games using actionscript. One game which I really enjoyed working on was ‘Hank the Zombie Killer.’ It was an interesting game where a ghost barfed out projectile vomit to destroy different types of zombies. The game even had a boss at the end who Hank had to fight head-on! I would really like to work on part 2 of the game, but we’ll just have to wait to see what else CPX has in store for me!
