Background
I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and moved to Hampshire, England shortly thereafter.
I spent most of my early years there, immigrating to Canada at the age of 10. My
teenage years were uneventful for the most part, being pleasantly interrupted in
the mid-80's to live in Paris, France for a year. Upon return, I resumed my education
until I took a serious interest in skateboarding. I secured a sponsorship in that
up-and-coming sport, opting for home-schooling and competing as an amature for 5
years. I moved on from my skateboarding career into various employment positions,
developing critical 'soft' skills in a number of varied environments.
I began to feel the need for more challenge in my jobs, and decided an education
in computing would satisfy this. I enrolled in BCIT's Computer Systems Technology
program in September 2003. I am scheduled to finish in May 2005, and am on track
for graduating with honours.
Goals
My primary
interest lies in the development of web applications for the .NET framework. To
this end I am in the process of acquiring my MCAD Certification, specifically in C# development.
