About Me
My name is Andy and I'm 24 and from Bournemouth,UK. I play a broad spectrum of games including MMORPG's, First Person Shooters, BEMANI (Music/Dance games) and more besides.

I was a former senior developer of the popular PC dance game simulation Stepmania, and I am excellent at programming in C,C++,PHP and C#. I'm also quite a dab hand at Java, PERL, BASIC, Visual Basic and ASM, the list goes on as there's so many languages that I've played with.

Speaking of Languages, They're one of my passions. I'm currently (slowly) learning Japanese and Korean. Currently I am developing an RPG game of my own, it is more of a pet project more than anything and still in its early stages, but I'm quite delighted how its coming along.

I also briefly did some work on RunUO, which is a popular server emulator of Ultima Online developed in C#.

Despite the experience and qualifications that I have in computer game programming I am infact an ICT Technician in a school! I've considered working for a games company and I think I'dd rather enjoy it (NCSoft/ArenaNET if you're reading this get in touch!).

More evidence of my Jack-of-all-tradiness includes my ability to DJ (I mix Hardcore,Trance,Drum 'n' Bass, House and more besides) and have a vast collection of 12" Records. I've also produced a few tracks one of which has been released on 12" Vinyl (you can get a copy/hear clips of it here, I'm credited as Friez). I am also able to play the drums!

Furthermore I have a strong interest in Manga and given time can produce some very nice works indeed (so I do the whole arty thing). I've recently discovered the delights of 3D modelling so I may be even more use to the game industry.

Besides my seemingly endless talents I have a passion for bad kung fu movies. We're talking really bad, so so bad that they make you roll around laughing at them, I enjoy cycling although I rarely get an opportunity to do so these days. And Q-Zar! Yes! Nothing beats zapping your friends with a laser gun.
