Welcome to the first experiment of my having a personal propoganda machine,
from which I will now indoctrinate you on a most critical subject : me.
As a proud representative of the NYC area, I am glad to have the
opportunity to greet you and take you on a tour of what I have to offer.
My vocational ID is 0525934189 (and, yes, it has been branded onto the
back of my neck for easy scanning), and my duties mainly consist of
software engineering and software programming. Though my status as a
conscript (or so I like to think) irks me at times, I tend to be a
happy little slave/monkey when performing my work, especially when it
comes to object-oriented programming (i.e, C++ and Java) on major
operating systems (especially in regards to the various flavors of UNIX).
Of course, if you still don't believe me, take a look at my
resume.
Even though half of my soul is embedded within the field of
software engineering and software programming, the other half yearns
for the aesthetics, of which I've neglected as time has passed. In
my earlier years, before I fled the insanity of contemporary humanities
and embraced the cool yet honorable craft of computer work, the majority
of my time was spent reading novels and writing in various forms. Like
many people in their youth, my immediate environment left me to want
a great deal, and since I could not be satisfied in fact, I sought
solace within fiction, created by both myself and others. These
treasured archives of my past writings can be found here
(and only here, damn you!) and if you like to read words that have
been assembled according to the strict guidelines of a composed grammar,
you should proceed quickly to the list of
writings which
I have dared to post for public consumption.
It was only a matter of time, though, before I would discover that
the two worlds did not need to be so separate from one another. There
was a place to forge a product of both writing and programming : games.
Oddly, I came to once again embrace the very goal that I had dreamed
off as a child but of which I had abandoned on my way to being a
"responsible" adult. So, for the past few years, I have slowly
increased my exposure to the game development community and to the
general process which goes into making games, bumping myself up from
knowing absolutely nothing to being merely a nascent game developer.
Programming Web games, participating in open source communities with
aims at the creation of a MMORPG, creating mods from the Quake3
engine...I like to think that I've gotten a little taste of everything
out there in game develoment. And, with that learning experience comes
the joy (and pain) of honing your craft as you create your very own
games for the first time. If you're merely curious (or if you could
use a good laugh), check out some of the
games that have
been spawned in the last few years.
As time goes on, I will add more to this site...but, for now, this
is all you're gonna get. So be thankful for that! However, you're
welcome to write to me and condone/comdemn the site at the email address
