My story so far...
General Information
I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada where I lived (other than University) since I was born on March 01, 1981.
I spend most of my time reading various books, programming, and doing work. My greatest fields of interest are P2P, digital image processing, number theory, compression, and changing diapers.
I am a primarily a C++, C#, Python, and JavaScript software developer.
