I started on the C64, ZX Spectrum 48K+, Amiga, PC etc way back when it all began. I am a qualified Aircraft Instrument Technician but I left that 20 years ago as it was maintenance work and I am a creative! I did enjoy it there as I worked in the flight simulator section. It was my duty to test fly the simulator every morning to see that all the instruments etc. were working. If not we had to replace them. Of course there were other maintenance duties too. It was there that I learnt about electronics.
So currently I am doing electronic development (R & D) for Zodiac pool cleaners. Very exciting! I'm enjoying that very much. It involves circuit design, PCB layout, firmware authoring for a target micro controller in high level languages as well as assembler, also Bluetooth comms etc. It was here where I bought B4A and started programming as part of a project for them. B4A is brilliant and easy. It makes so much sense to me and has taught me much about programming!
I am also a graphic designer and have some good experience with that. I have a good sense of quality etc. I am also a 3D animator (modelling, texturing, animation, scene layout, lighting and rendering). I have done some amount of character animation too. I have extensive experience with various paint packages and vector art packages and am good with layouts etc. Visit my 3D artwork portfolio here
http://www.phillipjnewman.moonfruit.com/ I lost my 2D online portfolio. I'll have to go and recreate it again : (
I am also a musician, a drummer since the age of 16 and have in the past created my own sound tracks, mods, wave file editing etc, but I am not a well versed composer. Just mediocre.
I am currently writing a compass app for the Android market in B4. I am planning to make something of real quality that you would just have to buy cause it looks cool and works really well. So far I have done quite a lot of work already, but still much remains. I plan to have different skins/themes. The compass will be optionally gyro stabilized for rapid liquid smooth motion when turning. I have written a long feature list which I must still work through. Currently it has an option to show true North. It loads a library that calculates the magnetic declination at your geo-location which can be entered manually or by enabling the GPS. It is tilt compensated and has a strip view i.e. you can hold the phone up horizontally with a transparent (by using the camera lib) strip heading indicator scrolling across the screen showing the heading. As usual it takes longer than I would have wanted, but...
That's a word (too many) about me. What are you currently working on? If I may ask... What's your main focus?
