I've been around computers and software development for many years, almost since my childhood. I've built countless applications for personal use in my free time. Other than my professional experience, I've contributed to the "Views" module for Drupal, the ScoutAssistantFramework for Football Manager (a framework that allows a developer to create an assistant manager tool by accessing real time memory data from the FM process - Windows), MacAssistant 2012 (a savegame assistant tool for Football Manager 2012), and MacAssistant RT (a Football Manager 2013 Real time memory assistant tool for the OS X operating system), all Open Source projects hosted on Github and Google Code. I've been in the website development business for the past 6 years, where I've built websites on Magento, Drupal, Joomla! and a Custom CMS system that I built. I also have experience in designing and creating mySQL and SqLite databases. I'm very interested in Computer Games, and my dream is to be able to work for a computer games company in the future. My Master's degree dissertation was on Artificial Intelligence in Computer Games, where I achieved a 79% grade. The dissertation included an analysis on AI algorithms and techniques applied in Computer Games, and a simulator, written in C# and DirectX, that made use of such techniques like A* Pathfinding, Machine Learning and DNA inheritance.
