Nick Knowlson

Who am I?

Hi, I'm Nick Knowlson and two things I can't get enough of are programming and reading. I live in Victoria, BC with my fiance Samantha and our cat, Ruby.

What do I do?

I'm a software developer and I love building things. I take pride in the quality of my work and enjoy actively improving my skills. I can write code in many languages, but I am most comfortable in C# and Ruby at the moment. Check out my Projects page for some of my side projects.

Do I have any hobbies?

I love reading, whether it is fiction or otherwise. When I read fiction, I mostly read sci-fi & fantasy. I have a large (and growing!) collection of programming books as well. Some of my favourite authors are Neil Gaiman, George R.R. Martin, Isaac Asimov, Neal Stephenson, and Steve McConnell. Take a look at my Goodreads account for what I'm reading now.

I also enjoy playing games of all kinds. Two of my current favourite video games are Starcraft 2 and Minecraft. I also enjoy board games like Carcassonne, Blockus, Go, and Chess, and I have recently started playing tennis. If you have some kind of account on Battle.net, Xbox Live, Steam etc. feel free to contact me and we'll play a few games!
