People at Savannah: Andrew John Hughes Resume & Skills
Follows Resume & Skills of Andrew John Hughes <gnu_andrew>.
Resume
I have been programming in various forms of BASIC since 1989. I have been using PCs since ~1994, with Windows 3.1/MS-DOS 6, and would consider myself pretty experienced with the Windows OS, having used just about every version on the PC platform. Over this period though, I developed a severe dislike for the practices of commerical software companies, namely Microsoft, and I firmly believe that power over computers should be firmly in the hands of the users and not corporations. I began learning Java in 1997, and have been using GNU/Linux on and off since about 1998. I started a degree in Computer Science at the end of last year (2001) and hope to achieve a masters degree (MComp) in 2005. As of 2002 on, I have been using GNU/Linux fully as my sole OS and have developed considerable proficiency. I also have strong beliefs as to the use of Free software (Free as in freedom), and have an ability to adapt and easily learn new skills. Recently, I have attended my language skills portfolio with knowledge of C, C++, Perl, Haskell and Python.
