OVERVIEW

I am a practiced programmer in the languages C++, Java and C# with a great

interest in games and the game industry. I wish to someday be a part of a team
of programmers that help create one of the worlds most popular games, and
create another Legend similar to Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider or any other
games that will live for a very long time.

SKILLS

Logical
Im a logical thinker born from a passion for mathematics and puzzles and so I
mostly make judgments and decisions based on the things I know and will work to
find the most information I can before making solid decisions

Good with computers

I spend a lot of my time on the PC for either College/University work or recreation
such as games and use of the internet. Due to the amount of time I spend on the
PC my knowledge of the use of them has grown steadily. I have work experience
building computers, as well as an education from College/University of computer
science.

Quick Learner
I often need to learn new things in college, university, work or at home. I never
have trouble grasping the basics, and can also learn a lot from just watching
somebody else doing something or showing me how things work.

Others

Full Driving License

Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award

INTERESTS

Playing Games
I frequently play games online and alone as I find them a great way to pass the
time, I regularly purchase new games to try out and I am always willing to try
new genres of game to explore how they are playedand created.

Japanese Culture
I am a big fan of the Japanese culture, I plan to one day move abroad to Japan
for a period of time and experience the cities and towns for myself. I watch and
read a lot of Anime and Manga, which has fueled my interest since a young
age.

Kickboxing
Started training in April 2012 and have stuck with it since then, currently
training towards my final Brown Belt before taking the Black Belt grading next
year. I also take part in Ameteur fights when they are available to take part in.
