Personal:
My name is Gavin Beatty. I'm 21 years old. I'm nearly finished 3rd year of my degree in Mathematics in Trinity College Dublin and I have been using Linux since Windows Millennium Edition ;) I have been a KDE user in all those years.

My studies have included C++, computer networks, isometrized 3D graphing applications in C++ and game development (last two using SDL).

My personal experience in this realm include coding QT 4.x applications for library management (search,status,reminders) and personal itches such as for easy ssh port forwarding (became quicker than monthly `man ssh`ing).

I have professional experience working with one of the largest (and Scandinavian ;)) telecoms companies in the world. There, I wrote testing frameworks in Python, debugged in Java and used many devel tools such as Subversion, ClearCase and all the major IDEs.

I teach C and UNIX to Junior Freshmans in the School of Maths in Trinity.

My passions are for Python, C++, QT and open source.
