The Keeper of the Converters - over a decade ago I took charge of one of the Paradox Game Converters (ParadoxGameConverters.com). Over time I created, advised, directed, or guided the rest of them, and now all are under my *ahem* benevolent rulership.
I've also worked for a succession of defense contractors, aerospace companies, and hardware manufacturers. And now Google. Less fun (well, apart from Google), but much better paying.
C++, C, Java, a little Python, Go if I absolutely must, and confident I could learn enough of whatever else.
