Graduate Developer (FdSc Computing) (BSc Hons Computer and Games Development)

Occupation: Freelance Developer & Conceptual Thinker/ Code Innovations.

My weaknesses: Probably better to list my strengths whereby the unused choice of words composite my answers to reveal the gargantuan behemoth of my weaknesses.

My Strengths: I don`t go to bed as often as I should. I don`t eat as well as I should. I don`t get enough exercise. I don`t enjoy using the very thing I often loved producing ever as much as I wanted to when the idea was a fantastic concept and it was going to take the world by storm. I don`t enjoy wasting my time, as plenty of this is done in front of a screen between Google and myself. I don`t enjoy going somewhere unless I can give it a purpose. I certainly don`t get enough daylight unless it`s sunny, then I dont want to Code at all. I don`t not, but do not definitely not don`t do code as often as I can.

Code Knowledge: C, C++, C#, Java, in fact...I`m gonna stop because the truth of the matter, it seems, is that I don`t seem to be struggling to comprehend any language at the moment except DirectX 10 would be a case in point, but who hasn`t suffered that ? Overall, I like to code strongly typed languages and do my best to keep it lean, where possible, and always start thinking about the optimizations before I`ve coded a line of first iteration.

Product Knowledge: Unity Engine - 1 year / so far. Visual Studio 2010 Mono Develop CodeBlocks, Eclipse, NetBeans(urgh),

Blender     - Basic capability to model most things, not great at the whole camera and lights thing in Blender plus have never rendered from it, just built models that I can UV map and export the hell outta there.

AutoDesk    - Well, I`ve chopped and changed so many times between Maya, Max, MudBox, Softimage and even experimented with the Kinect and MotionBuilder alongside Brekel. However, again I`m no expert with AutoDesk just yet but, can produce a basic model inside them all(except Motion Builder, of course).

Adobe CS 6 - Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Fireworks: Intermediate to Advanced skill set covering the Adobe suit (CS2 - CS6 changes) with over ten years experience in learning and producing Photoshop deliverables. (Artwork and logo design) Honestly, I am reflecting whilst writing this and I don`t wanna bore anyone, so i`m around for a chat on Gmail - Gmail name: gruffy.wright
