About Me
Hello! My name is James Newton-King, I'm 25 and I live in beautiful Wellington, New Zealand. I am a software developer and work for an IT services company called Intergen.
Interests
My main passion is software development, something that I discovered while at university. I love both the process of creating genuinely useful applications and as well as the constant innovation in programming languages and tools. I like to keep up to date with new developments and am always interested in learning new and better ways of doing things.
Economics is another subject that I am interested in. I really enjoyed studying economics at collage and I went on to study commerce at university. Micro-economics and the psychology of money; and macro-economics and monetary policy's affect on an economy are subjects that still fascinate me.
I am also a believer in the idea of open content and free information. I think the world would be a significantly better place if only we all spent a little more time learning about our place in it. The next time Wikipedia asks for donations considering giving something back. Information may be free but bandwidth and web servers are not :)
EducationI attended Victoria University in 2001-2003, completing a Bachelor of Commerce double majoring in Information Systems and E-commerce.
