What got me into programming?
It started with server management mainly, which is ironic cause most of my programming these days does not have anything to do with servers or web-based clients.
What are your favourite language(s)?
I don't have a favourite language, but the ones I know best are C, C#, Java and Perl. I also am competent in Python, Haskell and few others things, like LUA, CGI, BASH, PhP and stuff.
What projects are you working on atm?
I'm currently working on two things, one for work and one for fun.
Work: I currently work at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, I'm in a team of three that are developing a visualization tool for a simulation of metastasis in bones. It works in blender and runs in python, not my first choice of utilities but what can you do. It's really cool though, currently I'm developing a UI for our program, not as easy as it sounds because blender has no UI support and we're trying not to import a UI library into it. So basically I have to design the UI like buttons, text boxes, pop-up boxes, etc, from scratch in a program environment that doesn't seem to want to have a UI x.x
Fun: Currently leading a team in developing... wait for it... a video game! It's a game designed for PC Windows, it's a little bit hard to explain so I'll give a brief detail. It's made in unity and runs on C#. The game basically follows a scientist who seeks to find meaning in life by developing a machine that will unlock the truth, you play a particle in the Quantum world that is guided to develop components of the machine. The game is heavily based on actual concepts of quantum mechanics and the puzzles usually require these concepts like Quantum Entanglement, Quantum Tunneling, Pauli exclusion principle and the Uncertainty Principle in order to solve these puzzles (though you don't need to know these before hand of course!) It's really great fun developing and is slowly becoming quite a nice game if I do say so myself!
