All submission(s) by this author
Education: I graduated highschool, and am in the Computer Engineering program at Ryerson University.
Background Information: I have been programming since 1995, when I started with QBasic. Teaching myself everything I know, I have since expanded to much more complicated languages (I primarily use C++ for application development and ASP or PHP for internet development) and, consequently, more complicated projects. In both highschool computers courses I took, I worked on independent projects rather than working on the lower level projects with the rest of the class. I have lived in Canada my entire life and am very fluent in English.
Skills:
- I can type at approximately sixty words per minute.
- I work hard to ensure total buyer satisfaction
- I respond to email quickly, usually within a couple hours at the most.
- I am happy to make changes/provide support for my projects, and am always happy to answer questions and deal with concerns.

The website for the Asylum Total Conversion of Dungeon Siege. Contains dynamic news and media pages, the content of which is manageable through an admin section.

- Autosave
Languages: Original Version done in Visual Basic, Version 2 Ported to C++
This program was created in order to automatically save whatever was being worked on in a specified program. The user could choose if he wanted a Save or Save As command sent at a specified interval to the program in question. Originally, this was achieved by sending a key combination; in Version 2, this has been replaced, and the program now activates saving by sending Windows messages to the program's menu.
