He worked at a PC computer repair shop for his senior year and knew he wanted to work with computers and the web in the future. He interned at Bryght and Raincity Studios from September 2007 to July 2008. After the internship the studio promoted him to the paid position of Production Assistant which he held from July 2008 to February 2009. During his time as a Production Assistant Smith learned from his co-workers and explored techniques used by the pros. Gamer by nature, Smith is a competitor and a professional perfectionist. he has developed a condition known as the Drupal-Bug and is establishing himself in Vancouver's Drupal community.
