Hey everyone. I've been lurking around here for a while now but I figure I'll stop being all reclusive and introduce myself and mingle a bit.
I'm Nemwad (aka Guyle to many others outside of here). I've been a habitual lurker around these types of communities for more than half my life now. I first cut my teeth on programming and development back in circa 2002/2003 when Shannara released the Mirage Source. I was fairly active with the early Mirage Source community, then Konfuzed and Elysium. Secrets of Mirage (still up and running, in fact) is what introduced me to these types of games back in 2001. As a result, I have a professional background spanning more than 10 years in development from small business to large investment firms to, currently, contracting with the federal government as a software developer. I owe a lot of what and who I am today to communities like these--I wouldn't have even considered my career had I not found the old Playerworlds/Mirage games back in the day, so I'm looking forward to being a part of this and contributing in any way I can.
I'm well versed in C/C++, C#, Java, VB, Python, Ruby, with a background in database administration covering MS Access, MS SQL, MySQL, and Oracle. I likely won't be the subject matter expert in any one of these arenas, unlike many others here who probably specialize deeply in any one of these languages, but feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I'm here pretty often.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone here and tinkering around with Intersect!
