edit data

I am the type of person that will take others at face value; I judge people by deed or word, not by what others may say or do about them. I tend to be thoughtful and objective, but passionate about what is important to me.

I hold a first-class honors degree in computer science and received an Australian Postgraduate Award scholarship for a Ph.D. in 2006. I have published several articles in international peer-reviewed academic journals, none of which are particularly interesting :)

I was born and raised in Queensland, Australia, where I currently live, read and listen to music with my partner and two children.

For those who have read "Map," you'll see a couple of sneaky references to it, but there is no requirement to have read it to follow the story in "Body."(less)

Fan Art Sketch Portraits

While I’ve tried to draw many things, either digitally or on traditional media, the one thing that has always scared me was drawing people. In particular, faces have been a source of sheer terror for me. My attempts at sculpting human features in Blender were not my best efforts.
