Hi my name is Mark Wong i'm 26 years old and currently working and living in Edinburgh.
I have always been interested in computers from an early age, my first computer was an Amiga 500 I used to spend ages on it, especially creating cartoons and animations in Deluxe Paint.
We managed to get hold of a 486 PC which my dad got from the office this was where I got my first programming experience using QBASIC. I had many late nights creating and trying to program games and other cool stuff.
Once we got the internet at home on a 56k modem (painful times!) I began to learn about web design, reading up tutorials and spending time playing with source code to understand how things worked.
I love every aspect of web design. I always begin the design process with a pen and paper. I prefer a minimalist approach I try to focus on usability, while maintaining good looking design with clean code.
HTML, CSS, Java, PHP, MySQL and Adobe Photoshop.
I'm a fan of martial arts, I have a 2nd Dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do and enjoy watching mixed martial arts tournaments.
I also enjoy fly fishing, I usually go with my best friend Dean, we have been in some awful weather but always have a laugh together even if we never catch any fish.
Also like a bit of online gaming which I currently play WoW, BF2 and Natural Selection.
Have recently began taking up photography currently using Canon EOS-1 Digital, Fuji Finepix F30 and Canon Powershot G6 to take my pictures.
Living in Edinburgh with my girlfriend Noel, she’s crazy sometimes but I still love her! :)
