Took and passed the two hardest math and CS courses offered at my university: advanced calculus and algorithms.

Learned OpenGL.

Placed highly in the regional ACM coding competition.

Landed exactly the job I wanted out of college.

Most importantly, started a relationship with the most amazing female hacker I've ever met.

Left my job to make Forrst ( http://forrst.com ) full time. Generating meaningful revenue and growing the team. It's been an adventure.

I think I saw your site on smashing magazine once. That is some great graphic design- did you do that or did someone do it for you?

Graduated (again), work in a VC backed AM firm in London, paid off my parents mortgage and now fixing up the property outside of work. Started researching Venture Capital careers as its what I want to get involved in long-term. If anyone has any thoughts on this please do get in touch with me.
