Vibrational Essence, Freelance Developer, Consultant, College Prof, Game Designer and Human - Robert French

Software Development Comic...

I love this cartoon, credit to someone other then me (unknown author)

Greetings!!! I'm Robert French, a freelance software developer, consultant, college professor, indie game designer and overall computer g33k living in Peterborough and working in and around Toronto and the GTA. I've been writing software professionally for more then 15 years (the majority of which has been in the freelance world) and I've been teaching in the private vocational college circuit off and on for about 12 years.

I've had my fair share of "real JOB's" (Just Over Broke), but I prefer the freedom that comes from freelance work and know that it's much more secure, rewarding and fun then any 9 to 5 grind could ever hope to be. I state this upfront because some of the things you may find and/or read on my site will seem to be unconventional coming from a strict nine to five, five days a week mindset.

The purpose of my site is multifaceted, primarily it's a way to provide communication with existing (or new) students and clients as well as other humans existing in this time/space. It's also somewhere that I can host projects, track issues, stick prototypes, thoughts, ramblings, and maybe offer some additional education, it's also the main location of my constantly growing portfolio and while it may look like a strictly 'professional' site, it's really not. It has my professional resources and references, but it's my personal site and some of my ramblings are deeper, more controversial, and unique and sometimes somewhat more twisted then that. *Don't say I didn't warn you* LOL!

Poke around, there is plenty to see, read and play with. Comments, Suggestions, Flames or other Feedback is always welcome and encouraged.


Best Regards and thanks for stopping in!

- Robert



Site Update in Progress!!! - Nov 3 2011

You may have noticed that this page is different (then again you may not have) ... This is the layout my entire site will follow in the coming days / weeks ... bare with me. I'm striving for pixel perfection and some things are bound to be incorrect and not yet perfect. (like the lightbox that needs to be replaced).

The game in the header is also currently in development. (I'm using Melon JS)
You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard along with the X key to jump.
There are multiple levels. Touch / Mobile Users are currently out of luck.
