About

Welcome to Blackglove.

Hi I’m Michael and Blackglove is my portfolio, blogging and experimentation site. Here you’ll find examples of my work, information on projects I’m currently working on and just things that interest me. I’m a professional IT developer, and have been programming since my first ‘BASIC’ (forgive me) program back on a C64.

My professional career to date has provided me with broad experience, ranging from computational physics through to managing and implementing application development. In addition I have been exposed to extensive client contact in the areas of project management and requirements elicitation, and have also acquired significant experience in technical writing by providing written system documentation and user manuals.

These days I specialise in flash as3/as2, web technologies (including js, php, asp, & jsp) and c/c++ application development. I even dabble in system administration for a few companies. Having grown up in this industry I have been exposed to just about every aspect of the field, from mobile phone and embedded device development to the more exposed web technologies.

I believe in standards, code reusability and open source and I take pride in producing simple and elegant solutions to coding problems.

10 years experience in program development, management and implementation. Responsibilities include extensive client interface involving the proposal, specification, and finalization of projects.

  • Strong experience in developing software for embedded device control in areas as diverse as ScramJet engine modeling, GPS guidance systems, and Mobile phone data management.
  • Developed gaming applications using the ACES, OGS (Orbis gaming system) and Flash actionscript.
  • Experienced in all aspects of website design including Flash, Actionscript, Java, Javascript and standard scripting techniques.
  • Developed specifications and programs for the Qualcomm BREW operating system, the leading CDMA Mobile Phone operating system

Strengths include:

  • Strong C/C++ programming;
  • Flash, actionscript and web technologies;
  • OpenGL;
  • Multithreaded programming;
  • TCP/IP Network product development;
  • Mathematical algorithms and problem solving.
