About Me
Welcome to my website. Things are still under heavy development here, and probably will be for some time. For now, you can check out my portfolio, links page, and the image gallery.
This website is intended to let people know more about me, what I do, what I'm interested in, and to share pictures from trips and such.
So, who am I?
I recently graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science. I didn't take any specialty, but I do have a particular interest in advanced programming techniques, algorithm design and analysis, and computer security.
At present, I am working for Calgary Alternative Support Services (CASS), a support provider for developmentally disabled people in the Calgary Area. I do a bit of everything there, troubleshooting, website design and maintenance, training, network administration, and some consulting among other things. It's a good place to work with a great environment.
Aside from my job at CASS, I also do some web design, technical support, and programming on the side.
When I'm not working, I keep myself busy by making my own wine and brewing my own beer, hiking and learning to snowboard in the Canadian Rockies, and cooking. I also enjoy travelling and have been lucky enough to do quite a bit.
I also play a computer game called Myth (Not Myst!), it's not one of the newest games out there (the version I play came out in 98), but it's still my favourite. The 3 dimensional physics system in which heads roll downhill, arrows arc through the air and can actually miss their targets (unlike most games), the fluid camera controls that let you view the battle from any angle, and the vast collection of 3rd party modifications make this a game that no other developer has come close to matching. Aside from actually playing Myth (which I don't get to do much anymore unfortunately) I contribute to an independant group of players (ProjectMagma) who make modifications to the game in the form of plugins, and also updates to the game itself through modification of the source code.
That's enough about me for now I guess. Check out my Portfolio to see some of my past work, and my Resume if you're interested. The Gallery page has links to image galleries of trips I've gone on recently among other things. Finally, the links page contains a bunch of links that I find useful or interesting.
