As a self-taught independent developer for over 25 years I've worked
with numerous programming languages and operating systems. From Z80
assembler on the TRS-80 Model II, to designing portable game engines in
C++, to developing database-driven PHP web applications for corporate
clients, I've worked on a wide range of projects in many different areas
of expertise, both personally and professionally.

I enjoy learning new technologies, programming languages, and design
patterns. I have a knack for tracking down and debugging problems with
software and hardware using whatever tools are available -- and quite
often without special utilities. I also have strong written and verbal
communications skills, and enjoy authoring documentation for finished
projects.

My primary focus has been on writing portable gaming and entertainment
software for the PC, but professionally I have been a web developer
since 2000.

Also interested in getting involved with voice acting.

Misc. Trivia:

	* Born: June 22, 1976	
	* Schooling:
		- Graduated from Branford High School, though I've only once
		  ever stepped foot inside it.
		  
		- Attended Vinal Regional Vocational Technical School ("Vinal
                  Tech") from 1990 to 1995. Not the best of times.
                  
		- I have a soft spot for Morgan School's Class of '94
                  (Clinton, CT), since that's the class I grew up with until I
		  left for Vinal.

	            is not lost on me.  Oddly enough it was not intentional...)
