Personal
I am an electronics engineer working in an internet company that I co-founded, called JTS Technology Concepts. My main interests are computers and software development, electronics, automotive engineering, cars (in particular, the Nissan 200SX S13), heavy metal music (especially progressive metal), sci-fi and fantasy movies. I also play the guitar (I have a Jackson Rhodes guitar and a classical guitar), and enjoy the odd computer game (driving/flying simulators, first-person shooters).
I have a keen interest in software engineering. I have programmed in basic on an 8086 PC, assembly language on a PC and on a PIC microcontroller, wrote an IDE in Turbo Pascal, an IRC client in C++, real-time digital audio processing software for a 486SX33, Windows miniport drivers and embedded firmware for PCI satellite receivers and set-top box satellite decoders, a real-time web-based steel plant monitoring system, a content management system in Cold Fusion and Java, web based home automation software, and I am currently writing social networking applications in Ruby On Rails.
