    iFlashed Toronto

    My x-wing is broken. Everyone around me is zooming around in their x-wings and mine won’t leave the hangar bay. I ask myself, “Why am I sitting in the basement of FITC Toronto, bummed that I can’t get my x-wing to fly?!” One Reason:
    Papervision3D - a.k.a. “PV3D”, a.k.a. “the Flash 3D Engine that Could”. [...]

All about me

Technocrat, Bug-hunter, Web-slinger…

Rescued from the streets trying to wire a wireless card to my frontal lobe, Square360 quickly recognized my linguistic bonds over machines and pulled me to their cause. Fluent in over seven languages (all programmable), I hone the neo-traditional art of stealth code: a seamless, interaction weaved from an invisible web of a code.

After earning a dual-degree in Computer Science and Theatre, my left and right brain set aside their briney ways, and joined forces to balance the aesthetics of tech with the precision of art. Together, they find the method behind the machine.

Whether it’s AS or JS, PHP or ASP, 01 or 10, my code is always clean, current, and completely commented.
