I have been programming in C/C++ for over 10 years now, and I've programmed in C# since the .NET 1.0 beta was released. I know a lot of other languages, but I find very few languages to be as capable as the C family of languages.
I've worked for a few large corporations, but my favorite job was when I worked for ATS (Automation Tooling Systems) as a Control Systems Engineer. Programming PLCs taught me about the core of computing and the currently under-utilized power of concurrent state machines. Programming real-time computer systems for vision guided robotics and multi-axis motion control is just fun.
My personal interest are computation for finance, aritificial intelligence, physics, electronics engineering, embedded systems, motion control, and of course Music/Audio.
