    <div class="one">
        <p>I graduated Trinity College Dublin's Computer Science course with a first class honors in 2010. Since then I've been working for Swrve, which provides A/B testing and analytics tools, amongst other features, to game developers.</p>

        <p>I've been programming from a young age, and am very chuffed to have a game from my teen years sitting in Home of the Underdog <a href="http://homeoftheunderdogs.net/game.php?id=5221">here</a>.</p>

        <p>I still have a firm interest in game development, though the scope has branched out beyond the obvious topics relating to it. On the technical side, I enjoy programming language design, compilers, virtual machines, network programming, distributed systems, graphics, and anything particularly shiny. I've also been trying to develop art skills to apply to the production of games, which is why the blog here contains so many of my sketches.</p>
