I began programming in late 1994 with BASIC, before progressing rapidly to C and C++ in early 1995 for DOS application development, then onto 32-bit development under Windows. I moved to RAD with Borland's C++ Builder (essentially Delphi for C++) in 1998. In 1997 I became involved in Internet technologies, progressing to dynamic, database-driven websites.In 2000 as I am an Artist I turned into the field of animations and late 2001 I became a Game Developer and Simulation Engineer.

A combination of industrial experience and my degree has allowed me to work with a variety of technologies and develop software with a range of complexities and characteristics, from medium-sized web-based deployments to real-time control and embedded systems.

I believe that more than just technical skill is required in the Computing industry so ensured I would have a basic knowledge of business processes and media concepts, which are vital to make technology work with a business rather than against it.

I was responsible for several projects, including:

1.Development and deployment of a replacement email system and domain control system.

2.Development of a Linux online user database for a client, replacing a raft of disparate data sources and increase automation. Integration with Windows content servers and external user management companies.

3.Development and installation of an integrated, automated online billing system for a client.

4.Development of an offline job-tracking database for a client.

5.Design and Development of different Online games

6.Development of PC games as well as 3D Animation

7.Different web design and dynamic website developments.
