My name is Paul Milham. I'm a lead developer at WildWorks where I spend my time using Node.js to keep the millions of kids who play Animal Jam safe. Keeping children safe online is an ever evolving challenge that requires adaptability. I love games and Javascript. Luckily the two go pretty well together and I've been able to make a career out of them. I've spoken at Node.js Interactive, Digiforge and other community events. I would like to share with the Node.js community some of the lessons I've learned in my journey scaling an online game from just hundreds, up to millions of active players.
