Positive role model for women hackers? [video] (bit.ly)

Meet Shinji Kim, she's an up and coming hacker.

She has never worked in the games industry nor made a video game. One day last year (apparently), she just up and decided to quit her management consulting gig at Deloitte and Touche and make ShufflePix, a multiplayer picture jumble game for iOS. It's a lot of fun.

She designed the game, coded front-end and back-end, designed and executed on the analytics: It's like one-woman Zynga. But, unlike Zynga, there is no user acquisition budget, no army of journos salivating to put to print, no notoriety whatsoever.

Anyway, I found it pretty great to see a positive role model like this, taking a risk and going for it.
