Interested in computer science, I love learning. I’m experienced with software development. The short history of me as a software developer: At some point around 12 years of age i held one hand over my eyes and randomly typed out the letters Z, I, G, S. This was to be my internet handle. For some reason it stuck, and i never got rid of it - only the gods knows why. When I was 15, a friend of mine introduced me to Macromedia Flash 8. We made a couple crappy and very racist little animations and had a great time with the trail. I eventually ended up, and I don’t even know how, coding Action Script 2.0 (in Flash), and from there a lot of little and uncompleted games were spawned. All of them long forgotten, thank goodness. This was when I entered gymnasium (the Danish HTX). Studying was never really my thing and I had enormous trouble staying focused both with regards to both my new passion in coding, and for that matter on the subjects in class. I’ve heard many times over that good programmers are not good in school, and while I cling to that truth, I also know deep in my heart that the real reason that I almost failed, is that I’m lazy. During this time I got very little coding done. I DID however do a couple of projects in Unity3D, tradition true, uncompleted. I never really got to USE the C++, mainly because I was distracted by all the great technologies that the world wide interweb had to offerand and because i was lacking the motivation to work - it all being drawn into the void of infinite homework-to-be-done that i had created. Still wanting to use a system programming language, I eventually found D, from which I’ve had a lot of pleasure. I started thinking about why I never complete my things, and I came to the conclusion that, being self taught, I tended to write code in a not so structured manner. Proper style has always been a thing that I’ve valued highly as a coder, but clean code is not something that I’d paid that much attention to. I started reading books about this – and in the process, my code style changed dramatically. I eventually finished Gymnasium, and telling myself I wanted a temporary job before continuing my studies as a software developer at university level, I ended up in Experian as a script-kiddie. It’s not great, but it surely beats my current impression of studying. This is where I am now. Plans: |
