    Resume:

    Education: I graduated highschool, and am in the Computer Engineering program at Ryerson University.

    Background Information: I have been programming since 1995, when I started with QBasic. Teaching myself everything I know, I have since expanded to much more complicated languages (I primarily use C++ for application development and ASP or PHP for internet development) and, consequently, more complicated projects. In both highschool computers courses I took, I worked on independent projects rather than working on the lower level projects with the rest of the class. I have lived in Canada my entire life and am very fluent in English.

    Skills:<ul style="margin-top:0">
  • I can type at approximately sixty words per minute.
  • I work hard to ensure total buyer satisfaction
  • I respond to email quickly, usually within a couple hours at the most.
  • I am happy to make changes/provide support for my projects, and am always happy to answer questions and deal with concerns.


  • Project History:

      <span>Languages:</span> Originally done in ASP, Converted to PHP/MySQL
      The website for the Asylum Total Conversion of Dungeon Siege. Contains dynamic news and media pages, the content of which is manageable through an admin section. I also wrote the image gallery script to clearly organize all categories in one page, along with a random image from each category. As well, I wrote a news submission script that parses the entered text into HTML.

    • Autosave
      <span>Languages:</span> Original Version done in Visual Basic, Version 2 Ported to C++
      This program was created in order to automatically save whatever was being worked on in a specified program. The user could choose if he wanted a Save or Save As command sent at a specified interval to the program in question. Originally, this was achieved by sending a key combination; in Version 2, this has been replaced, and the program now activates saving by sending Windows messages to the program's menu.

    • Screen Saver Password Decypher
      <span>Languages:</span> C++
      This program was created in order to decypher the Windows 9x screen saver passwords saved in the User.dat file. The program opens the User.dat file, searches for the screen saver password section extracts the password and decyphers it.

      This project is the graphics engine made for an OpenGL movie. Using input files containing a scripting language, OpenGL items were sent to the engine, which sent them to the screen.

      This is an object editor for items in Maxis' The Sims.

      Daniel is extremely professional and highly skilled. He is creative, and has the ability to perform analysis all during the project to ensure that the delivery is on time, complete to spec -- and the extra mile -- throws in a couple things that were not even on the spec!

    I plan to use this coder again as my needs dictate. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

    On a personal note, Daniel worked very well with me despite the fact that we threw some changes at him, and due to circumstances beyond our control, we were not able to be as responsive as we like. Nevertheless, Daniel kept plowing forward, never complained, and absolutely stayed on task to deliver in spite of the delays that we introduced.

    Much respect to Daniel!

      Daniel showed great flexibility and understanding of both project overview and intimate details, adding his input and features to make the database/web-site more fluid and easy to navigate. Daniel also remains in constant contact showing results immediately and throughout the development of the project.

    I would highly recommend using Daniel...I would rate him a 20...however the scale will only allow 10...
