About Andrew Brehaut

I am a 25 year old software developer living in Hamilton, New Zealand. I wrote my first computer game when I was eleven, survived high school and went on to study computer science at the University of Canterbury for five years. After University I worked at Telogis for the two years. I am now a Django developer at Aquis.

Professionally I lean toward developing user focused applications, and working with web technology. I prefer to develop in dynamic languages such as Python, and Javascript where it is suitable. I dabble in Mac OS X development with Objective-C and Nu, and have recently been experimenting with the distributed functional language Erlang.

Graphic design and art has been an interest of mine since I was very small, and I enjoy opportunities to incorporate it into my work and hobbies. You can see some examples on my portfolio.

In my spare time I am an avid music listener, and amateur guitarist. My main guitar is a “well loved” 1978 Ibanez CN-200 that has some surface damage but still plays and sounds amazing. I am using a 15 watt Orange Tiny Terror amp and a collection of pedals.

I enjoy reading fantasy and science-fiction fiction, and playing role-playing (eg Dungeons and Dragons) and story games. Interactive Fiction (the new name for text adventures) also competes for my time.

This site is a playground, experiment and general dumping ground for my various projects. If you wish to know more about its implementation, check out the colophon.
