I prefer to work on application-level projects using Java and Python, but I have experience with C/C++ and C#. Of course, I love to work on video games, but I haven't done a lot of that lately.

Currently, I'm exploring as many languages as I can, so I can learn more about language features and design.

My website, mainly, and the biggest current subproject: Sample Programs in Every Language.

Whatever! I love to chat.
