Been around here a while now but why not…
I’m from Plymouth in the UK, and I too cannot pronounce my alias and have no idea where it came from. I’m 24 and up until 2/3 months ago was a freelance/hobbyist developer. Recently I’ve managed to get involved with a super-rad program called Alacrity in Falmouth, and am working on a real (and innovative) project with three others. There are a total of 20 people at Alacrity this year and I’m the go-to Unreal 4 guy right now, even doing workshops on it in a couple of weeks (you hearing that Epic ;))
I’ve worked on or been part of the team for a couple of titles. The Somme, Dead Crusade, Bionite: Origins (a long time ago), and some TBA projects of my own. I actually did my degree in Sound Engineering but also looked into Game Development in my spare time since around 2004, then more directly in 2009 when the UDK was released. I think I put more effort into personal game projects than I did my Degree 
I was also granted UE4 beta access back in Sept/October time, and managed to get a couple of bugs fixed prior to public release.
I’m primarily an FX/Particle & Technical/Shader Artist, but a bit of a jack of all trades. Lots of experience with audio of course, along with project management, level/game/gameplay design, documentation, 3D Modelling/Textures, the list goes on. I’m now taking up C++ and Programming so I can effectively become a one-man army. I come from a modding background, so my approach to everything is to just jump in and get busy, IMO it’s the best way to learn which is why I rarely tutorialize anything I do (that and laziness).
Outside of that I’m also the drummer for this band, and have played all over the UK with some other metal bands too.
