About

I am a games developer living in Dundee, Scotland, working for a large Scottish studio on an MMO title. It is challenging, but very fun :) Programming wise, I am currently focused on server and network programming in C#/.NET, but have a wide interest including graphics programming (DirectX9, HLSL, SM3 ASM), C++, Java, Python, and web development under PHP/MySQL. I also have an interest in software management and methodologies, having introduced Agile at my previous workplace.

Spare time I spend with my partner, Kristofer - we both spend a lot of time playing games, especially online (MMOs), notably Eve Online (currently inactive), and Lord of the Rings Online. Previously we played Dark Age of Camelot (EU servers). Before taking up MMOs, I was part of the Tribes1/Tribes2 EU community in the late 90s, playing and organising competitive games. Currently looking forward to Fallen Empire: Legions - the spiritual successor to Tribes.

We keep tropical fish - with three main tanks - and are regulars at www.fishkeeping.co.uk

I’m also an atheist. Religion and it’s control over people and humanity doesn’t rub well with me. Actually, I’m not sure if I’m an atheist or a pastafarian. Have you been touched by his noodly appendage?
