Derek Tatum studied Computational Media at Georgia Tech. Having a strong interest in various kinds of multimedia production, he enjoyed taking a few classes about video production, music production, and video games, but was hesitant to embrace computer programming. However, since the time of working with David LaBorde on his Senior Design project, Derek has expanded his interests to included web development and has embraced pHp and mySQL programming as a means by which to create dynamic websites complete with user login systems, shopping carts, and more. He is still interested in multimedia production, however, and hopes one day to produce high-quality media--be it film, music, or video games--that will have a positive and meaningful impact on those who experience it.
