I’ve been a hobbyist game programmer since early secondary school, and game programming is among the main reasons why I took a strong interest in programming software. I first started programming using Quick Basic, and from there moved onto Visual Basic and Java. Towards the end of secondary school I started working with C++ and DirectX to make games for the PC.

I’m now currently studying at Professional Software Development at Swinburne, where I’ve continued making software and games using languages such as Pascal, C#.NET and VB.NET. This year, I've made a few games, Blackout (with Pascal), Epidemic with C#.NET and SDL.NET) and now Tomato Quest (with the .NET SwinGame SDK). I’ve spent this summer working on the SwinGame SDK as a part of a Scholarship program provided by the University.

This year in my studies, I look forward to beginning the game programming electives that I've chosen, and to build my knowledge of programming games using DirectX/OpenGL with C++ and other languages.
