Who are you?

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that it would be nice to get to know our beloved admins a little bit better. Basically, the most we know about you mysterious people are your usernames, and that most (if not all) of you live in Canada, eh?
So, if you are an admin (and you are comfortable sharing more info), why don't you explain who you are? I'm sure there are many people here who are interested in learning about you.
Now, I'm not talking about family history and all that nonsense, rather, information along the lines of your education, your hobbies, and your role as part of the FRHD team.

For all of you non-admins (like myself), we may as well throw down a few questions. I will start.
- How did you become part of the team?
- How long have you been part of the team?
- Is it true that most of you sit in a basement programming together?
- What part of the website are you responsible for? (Do you do game development, website development, moderation, etc)
- What programming languages are you familiar with?
- Do you have any projects in the past that you are proud of?
- Do you have a degree in Computer Science or something along those lines? Or is programming just a hobby that you became very good at?
- How many hours a day do you spend working on the site?

 

Hey, I'm Velksy the intern/person who does a bunch of little things around the office.
- How did you become part of the team?
I started work at Kano Apps as an intern working on our web portal, Kano Games, which included Free Rider 3. I then followed the production path into FRHD.
- How long have you been part of the team?
Starting working at Kano Apps a year and a half ago.
- What part of the website are you responsible for? (Do you do game development, website development, moderation, etc)
Although the majority of my time is still dedicated towards our Kano Games website, I am responsible for the FRHD forum and the social media pages (Facebook, Google Plus, Etc)
- What programming languages are you familiar with?
Very little compared to the other team members as they aren't my current field of study. The basics of Python, HTML, and Javascript are as far as I've gone.
- Do you have any projects in the past that you are proud of?
Created this Forum
- How many hours a day do you spend working on the site?
The majority of my time is still dedicated towards Kano Games but as FRHD grows I'm sure that will be changing.

 

I'm coming to visit .. Just kidding.. You live on the other side of Canada.

Very interesting.. I'm thinking about getting into mechatronics engineering (electrical + software). Any tips for a wanna-be programmer?

Same with me.. I know quite a bit of Python, but very little HTML and Java. I'm working on teaching myself Java at the moment.

 

How did you become part of the team?
Kano was looking for a developer to help with KanoGames. I applied, and got the job

How long have you been part of the team?
2.5 years

What part of the website are you responsible for?
Responsible for Free Rider HD , Game + Front end for the website.

What programming languages are you familiar with?
Languages : Javascript, PHP.
Markup: HTML , CSS

Do you have any projects in the past that you are proud of?
KanoGames

Do you have a degree in Computer Science or something along those lines? Or is programming just a hobby that you became very good at?
I do not have a degree in computer science. I have an associates (diploma) in computer system technology. Mainly self taught.

How many hours a day do you spend working on the site?
All of my work day is spent on various features. Roughly 8 hours.

 

Thanks for the advice!
I'm currently working on my own projects in Python, as well as assignments in my grade 11 programming class. (Currently remaking the game Super Hexagon).
However, I don't think I'm going to follow a career specific to just software engineering, as a lot of my interest involves robotics. But you never know.. That may change soon!

8 HOURS?! ... Lucky .. Sounds like such a fun job

 

I live in Spain but I'd love to go to Canada ^^ I will go visit you if I go

 

Hmm. I'm interested in robotics and programming too.

 

Am I seeing someone on the 2nd floor, in the 2nd window from the left?

 

haha Oevion creepy .

That is a different Eric, who does not work on Free Rider.

 

Haha. It's nice to know a little bit about the people who created the game we all love. <3
