About Me
Hi, I’m Warren.
I’m a third year Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo. Currently, I’m on a cooperative education term working as a BIS Tools Developer at Research in Motion. In the summer of 2007, I was employed at COM DEV as software developer for the MUX Engineering team. Prior to fall of 2006, I worked with Maplesoft as a Marketing Assistant.
In my spare time, I enjoy developing software and playing video games. Below is a list of a few of the software projects I have taken part in. Unfortunately, due to disk failures, there are no live versions of the software available.
- GhostWriter: A PHP and MySQL based content management system, similar to WordPress. Features included:
- Secure, session-based user authentication.
- Support for multiple contributors and editors.
- Support for embedded video and audio by way of flash player.
- WSIWYG text editor for creating and editing posts.
- Dynamically generated RSS feeds.
- Kingdom of Time: A PHP and MySQL browser game. Features included:
- Modular game components, with the ability to dynamically add and remove unit and building types.
- Secure, hash-based authentication system with password reset system.
- Algorithm-based combat system that allowed users to interact with other players’ units.
- Private messaging system to facilitate user-to-user communication.
- Time-based resource generation and unit building system.
In addition to the above mentioned PHP projects, I have also developed software and content using:
- Java
- C++
- Visual Basic 6
- Visual Basic .Net
- TCL
- LUA
- JavaScript
- ActionScript
- Hammer World Editor
I also share in a business partnership with Dave Lahn and Jake Billo called EdgeLink Consulting. We provide consulting and repair services for computers and other home electronics and officially registered as a business in May of 2007. For more information please see our website, or email me.
