About Me

This is my website, all about me! This means I have to talk about myself.

Well, I've graduated from University with a degree in Mathematics and Computing in the summer of 2000. In my freetime back then I was doing lots of ju-jitsu and fell walking. I read up more on programming and started to work on 3d-game mapping as a hobby and keep my skills sharp.

Shortly after graduating I got a great job in web programming, namely due to my strengths in web programming as I had recently finished my final year project in php and mysql, hot stuff back then.

My trade began under the watchfull and stern eye of Emma Cook at Eurotel Systems Ltd, and our own subsidary busines Inspire Designs. We worked as a team within the marketing department which is really when I started to learn my trade, and very well I might add.

Everyone was friendly and had lots of advice, and everyone had a much keener eye for detail than initially I would have liked, but that's the way of Marketing. The job was to take the web designs given to me, for our clients and create the required html to make the web pages work on all platforms, right down to the version 3 browsers. There would be specific dhtml requests, layers, css, and javascript, so I was proud to create dhtml, most of which was researched, learned, developed and created in house, by me, and within deadlines. I ran statistics for all our clients, laised with our ISP, acted as technical support, and started in Selling, and marketing of the web site to clients.

Moving onto my newer section of my life, due to romantic interests, I moved to the North of Sweden. Whilst awaiting a place on the SFI Course(Swedish for Imigrants), I started to help out a non-profit organisation. I designed and built a 30 page web site, and a nice editable calender system in php, and a text file database. Then I started to learn swedish full time, and left finished the SFI course in four short months.

Then came project nexus, in early spring and then internship at RI-software in late spring. This turned into a full time position. I became the lead web developer and grahical artist, which considering my non-artistic background was a shock to me. There was a variety of projects, a company/organisation town portal, intranet - with news and personal calender system. Again I was in the marketing people, bouncing creative ideas making logos for products and then moved into more serious web developing and teaching web developing roll.

My time came to an end when the office closed down just before Christmas 2004. But now I could afford to buy a new computer, as I had been without a PC for 2 whole years. Due to the company I ordered with, I didn't get it until mid march. My web space came a bit later than that.

Now it's spring 2005, I'm back to studying swedish, namely because I want to get fluent, and be so great. I have a bit of time to consider stories that I may want to write, and mini-websites to design and build, and I've been pondering over for two years, my own site being one of them . . .

That's my life story for now. My interests and hobbies are still the same, computing gaming, watching films, reading literature, spending time out in the hills and the snow. I'm trying to learn snowboarding which is a lot of fun, for the other people on the slope I imagine.

My dreams, ignoring the normal dreams of a house, dog, traveling, wife, kids, and still having money left over to not have to worry, and that silly dream as a kid when I wanted to be Luke Skywalker;

I wish I could be apart of a really cool game that would rock the world, or a film, maybe even a book.

But for now making people happy with cool websites, and helpfull applications makes me very happy.

However battling with Cross web-browser compatibility makes me sad.
