Welcome to my online CV. This kind of CV is exactly the same as a usual paper-based CV, but this way, it allows me to show what I have/can achieve to the whole word. Thank you and enjoy! You may see now and again on this page, the reference "Phalanx". Please do not be confused, as this is my online nickname.

Site Name:
Description:
 EarthServ.Net 
(http://www.earthserv.net)
This is a project where Matt Shepherd and I decided to start another business. It allowed people 20MB of FTP space, an email address and their own domain name in exchange for showing our advertising banner on their pages.
 Maric.Net
(http://www.maric.net)
This was my first part-time company I created before The Xenon Network was made. This was based on a partnership between myself and a colleague of mine.
 Planet Kingpin
(http://www.planetkingpin.com)
I used to be a news reporter on this site. Aswell as updating daily, I also helped organise and run the first competition for Planet Kingpin to win an exclusive JERMAINE painting of Kingpin, the game.
 TAMEC
(http://www.tamec.org)
TAMEC stands for Total Annihilation Map Evaluation Center. I used to be a reviewer here, and often helped out with HTML problems encountered on the site. This site was also for Total Annihilation (see Z-TA Description).
 The Xenon Network (http://www.the-xenon-network.com)
This is the name of my online company which I do in my own spare time. It has 2 parts to it... One is Xenon Design (see Xenon Design description) and the other is Xenon Software (see Xenon Software description).
 Xenon Design
(http://www.xenondesign.com)
This is part of my main company, The Xenon Network (see The Xenon Network description). It deals with the design, implementation and updating of web pages and sites for clients all around the world.
Xenon Software
(http://www.xenonsoftware.com)
This is part of my main company, The Xenon Network (see The Xenon Network description). It deals with various non-profit modifications and total conversions of popular games such as Half-Life, Kingpin, Total Annihilation and many more. It also has a retail game in development.
 Z-TA
(http://www.z-ta.com)
I own this site. I started this site myself because I was introduced to a PC game called Total Annihilation, by Cavedog Entertainment. I fell in love with the game and started looking around for new units and maps to play with/on. I stumbled across so many sites that were left unattended for days on end. This agitated me, and so Z-TA was born to bring news to the Total Annihilation community every day, if not quicker!
