Hi, my name is James Newton-King and I live in Singapore.

By day I'm a software developer and work for Microsoft. By night I fight the criminal underworld in the guise of a bat and write fictitious internet biographies.

Interests

I love building applications and websites. There is a great sense of achievement creating genuinely useful applications for people and I like the constant innovation and improvement in programming languages and tools.

I enjoyed studying economics at college 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.

Free, online self-education is something I'm passionate about. I believe the world would be a significantly better place if we all spent a little more time learning about it. The next time you see Jimmy Wales looking sad on Wikipedia and asking for donations, consider giving a little. Information may be free, but bandwidth and web servers are not.

Education

I attended Victoria University in 2001-2003, completing a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Information Systems.
