As a self-taught independent software developer for 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.
