Career Possibility

Career Possibility

    I think I have finally figured out what I want to be, a Project Manager! I have been having fun organizing all my ideas into projects and hopefully by the end of the year mastering a technique to kick off my project organization skills a bit. Currently I am working on the following projects.

  • LAN Panel Manager - For hosts to collaborate LAN events.
  • Luke Stephens - Personal Website to display project status, blog, gallery and more?
  • Eureka Athletic Club - First stage went well, lost communications with the club president but i'm sure i'll make some progress on it by myself and hopefully surprise the club with some funky features.

    The above are the main ones I am focusing on for now but there are many many more that I will get to in due time.

    Thanks to Joel Fitzpatrick in IBM is a legend have been chatting to him about Project Management and I think I'll progress in the company to some sort of project management position hopefully.

    The company i most admire is that of Gabe Newell's Valve Software whom develop games of amazing quality with a massive team of talented programmers, modelers, script writers you name it. Gabe Newell worked on some of the earlier operating systems at Microsoft and privately funded Valve Software. What they do is just amazing, I sent him and email about their latest release Left 4 Dead which took 2 years to develop and is just so well put together its inspiring.

    To top this off I got an email from Gabe just a small one but hell I am over the moon, was not expecting a reply. Much respect that just got a whole lot stronger for the company and Gabe Newell!
