I have many years of video game industry experience, I want to be part of developing the best games I can.

My greatest strength is finding and fixing bugs, I find fixing bugs to be very rewarding, developing and implementing new functionality to be very exciting and engaging. When looking to take on a task from another programmer I am always interested in taking the task they find to be most difficult or burdensome, because that is the equivalent of a bungee jump, as a programmer you don't always have the opportunity to live on the edge so once in a while it keeps it real.
