Biography[]
Jaime got his start by co-creating a fansite for Myth. Jamie and his friend Ferrex co-web mastered The Myth Codex, a fairly comprehensive Myth and Myth II site. He met Max, Bungie’s webmaster, through the Codex and since he lived in Chicago they hired him to come in part-time and do some in-house testing on Myth II.
After Myth II shipped he just kept coming in to work. He was the Head Bungie.net Administrator for a little while, and then Jason Jones asked him to join the Halo team.
I definitely didn’t anticipate this chain of events when I started my first fansite, The Myth Grimoire. I was planning to go to grad school for theoretical physics, but I’m extremely happy with how things worked out. Bungie is a great company and the work environment here really encourages people to take on as much responsibility as they feel they can handle. I was really lucky to end up here.
In 2010, Jaime left Bungie leaving a status on his Linked In profile as a "retired" game designer.
