Now we're having a conversation :)

By "I am a programmer" I mean I've been programming since 1996, when I was a freshman in high school.  I graduated August of this year with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Virginia Tech, and in my last semester there, I actually wrote a matrix multiply for the Cell using low-level optimization techniques like pipeline optimization, use of SIMD instructions, double buffering DMA transfers, etc.  I've also worked with computer graphics for several years; my last two projects were a raytracer and a stereoscopic renderer for a space combat sim (think Tie Fighter with 3D glasses).  I suppose the closest I've come to writing commercial game code was as lead programmer for Serious Fortress, which was a TF mod for Serious Sam (couldn't get any modelers, though).

I can do PHP and SQL too.  :)  Actually all the employers here are doing .NET and SQL server, which blows, because it's not what I'm interested in.  Games and programming are my passion, so it's likely I'll end up a game developer before too long.  I'm currently working on something to rip the data and graphics out of a NES ROM, which will then be used to play the game in an updated OpenGL engine.
