I am a software developer with over 10 years' experience in Computer Science. I started studying at the age of 11 or 12.

Over the years I have written over 120,000 lines of code (not that that is an accurate representation of my skills – quality over quantity is most important in my opinion), and have experience in over 12 computer languages. All the code I have written has contributed to hundreds of separate programs and projects all varying in size and complexity.

I have a lot of experience in .NET and ASP.NET using C# (I started in 2006 or 2007, I believe). I also have experience with the Apache web server, C, C++, CSS, HTML and XHTML, IIS, Java, JavaScript, Linux (specifically Ubuntu, Kubuntu and OpenSUSE), Mono, MySQL, PHP, Qt, SQL, Visual Basic.NET, Windows OS and XML. I also took a course in Perl in 2007 but as I never used Perl for anything I've forgotten it all.

I am also an avid supporter of web standards.

I should also mention that while I'm by no means a graphics designer, I do a little drawing now and then when I need to make an icon or logo, so I am familiar with Scalable Vector Graphics. Of course I am not an expert in all of these technologies, my skills mostly lacking in Mac OS X in general, Perl and VB.NET.

Recently I've also been getting into Mac OS X and iPhone development, although I don't like Objective-C as a language at all - C++ is far more elegant because it stayed closer to the style of C than Objective-C did. I've also done a little work with Blackberry (Java), Android (Java) and Windows Mobile (Windows CE + .NET CF) lately.
