Posing with a giant wooden lobster

I am outgoing, imaginative and motivated. I have good social skills and work naturally within groups, as either a member or leader of the group. I play, write and listen to music, finding it a great outlet for creativity and relaxation.

Games Programming

I am a competent C++ programmer, graduating in 2007 from Teesside University with BSc Computer Games Programming. I have experience using APIs such as DirectX, OpenGL, Renderware, SDL, and some written by lecturers and friends.

Additionally, I can write dynamic and interactive websites powered by XHTML, PHP, and MySQL databases, which I began learning in 2001 and have steadily worked on a number of projects since then.

Music

I learnt to play keyboard when I was in my early teens and achieved distinction at Grade 8 when I was 16. I've been casually teaching myself to play the guitar over the last few years too.

I wrote some songs for acoustic guitar whilst travelling Europe which I hope to record and have online soon.
