I'm Irish, based in Dublin, Ireland. I'm a former architect (building architecture) I've recently learned to program and have started working in my first job in the games industry at a startup called Garden Shed Games, as lead programmer / game designer / general guru (not my description, that is the directors :) ). I'm very focused on building my career in the games industry at the moment, I have also been using Unity3d for about a year and I intend to become an expert Unity developer. I have always been a pc gamer since I was very young (playing games on the C64 and then a 286 pc) I would consider myself an informed critic of the art-form of computer games. One of my favourite games ever is the old unix / dos game rogue. As a result of playing this a lot when I was young I have always been interested in procedural content generation in computer games and I have endeavoured to learn about and implement some techniques in this field.
