SkillsCV
| IT Experience I have primarily used Linux on my computers for about eight years, and feel very comfortable using Unix-like operating systems; this includes Mac OS X, which I used daily for a year or so. I remain very familiar with the ubiquitous Microsoft Windows platform, not least because I am perpetually enlisted to solve the computer-related problems of family and friends. I can confidently use Microsoft Office products such as Word, Excel and Access, as well as open source alternatives, including OpenOffice and GNOME office. I can type well on both the QWERTY and Dvorak keyboard layouts. Programming Experience I have programmed in my spare time for several years, working on dozens of pet projects, comprising tens of thousands of lines of code. My favourite language is Python, although I feel at ease with other C-like procedural languages, including C++, Java, PHP, Javascript, Unix shell (sh, bash, zsh), and C itself. I have a limited familiarity with other imperative languages, including Lisp and Perl. I also know declarative languages, including HTML, XHTML, CSS, and have written XML writers/parsers for my programs. Some of my projects include: * A fully 3-D turn-based strategy game engine, written in C++ and Python using the Ogre 3D rendering engine, and Twisted Python for the networking back-end. * A Python program for simulating decision problems such as the "prisoner's dilemma" using a genetic algorithm; this project is intended to investigate the emergence of optimal strategies in these kinds of environments, and served as a bridge between my interests in computing, on the one hand, and philosophy and cognition, on the other. |
