Who Am I?

I'm a lot of things to a lot of different people, but in my professional life, I'm a software programmer who makes video games for a living.

My focus over the last 6 years has been on mobile and embedded systems development where I've worked to create games for BREW (old flip phones), iOS, and the Plug and Play TV games market. My strength as a programmer lies in applying OO practices in C-based languages. Specifically C++, but I'm also capable in C, Objective C, C# and PHP.

Sometimes I think I have to be crazy to work for less in the game industry, but despite my better judgement, I just know something inside would die if I only wrote software that was practical instead of entertaining. That's not to say that working in the game industry isn't soul crushing at times, but I'm a creative person and I need that creative outlet that game development provides.
