I love helping on stackoverflow, as I often end up learning as much as I teach. Iron sharpens iron.

My best language experience lies in C++, Various assembly languages, C, Python.

I'm very proud of most of the work I've done in various fields - console games you may have played, high frequency trading, mobile applications, advanced web applications.
