Hey all!
My name is Steven Page and I am new to these forums! I have been on the programming scene for many years, I am 25 and i hail from Canada, Ontario. I currently manage, program, and trouble shoot robots in a factory called Meridian Lightweight Technologies, where we make the dashboard IP for the Cadillac Escalde!
Besides this I have conducted many operations on the internet ranging from free web hosting, back in the day when free web hosting was hard to come by. The name of this company was 0web (http://0web.org and prior to that it was http://0web.uni.cc) this company has been deceased for almost 6 to 7 years however! After that I still offered private virtual server hosting for pay, while I ventured into some new endeavors.
I tried my hand as designing role playing games for the PC, using everything from my own C++ game engine merging many products such as graphics engines and physics engines to create a video game, and even got into some other things such as Unity3D. One example of MANY projects i worked on would have to be Confied. See the old website here: http://confined.coderzilla.net
I chose this one for this message due to the fact i worked on this on on my own. I also created a single player 3d first person rpg where you can see a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38LL2oEgZW8
Learning how to design videos games coupled with my programming experience in networking allowed me to make my own working mmorpg client and server, from scratch. I used the core of this engine however in a few projects which i worked on for some companies, but i cannot release this information due to non disclosure agreements and such.
When i picked up my first android the first thing i did was download the SDK and begin programming for it!
So now to the point: I have started up a new company as of recently. Due to the economic downturn, i have started receiving less hours at work, and have decided to start a company online so that i could have a professional company image to conduct business under during my personal by-contract programming endeavors.
It has grown, however, into company which not only does contract work for business’, but rather a company which does contract work and also is working eagerly on our own arsenal of software to create a competitive product line.
The company’s name is RapidWebs and our website can be found at http://rapidwebs.org and although we are not hiring people for a 9-5 style job, we are looking for some people who would like to participate in a software development organization; we are trying to assemble a team of intuitive artists who are willing to help try and “live the deam”
Our current head quarters in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, but being an internet business, we span the entire globe with people on the team from Egypt, Portugal, Indonesia, Europe, United States and Canada. We are mainly developing software for Android, but having experience on all platforms we are starting some projects for Windows (and other PC variants) as well as creating some intricate server solutions and even dabbling with Open Source Software.
If you are interested in joining the team, head over to http://rapidwebs.org and try checking out the “Jobs” page. Or click the link in the navigation titled “We are hiring!”.
Besides all that, I have joined these forums because as I am developing for the Android, I should be getting more in touch with the developer community, and i have decided that this website would be one of many good places to start!
Thanks for taking the time to read my introduction, you may very well see me around the forums! Thanks!
