About me
Nick: Shiru, earlier Shiru Otaku; also earlier DJ Uranus (as composer)
Location: Russia, Moscow
As coder: Started in 1994. C/C++, J2ME, AS3, PHP, Assembler. 8080/Z80/x86/ARM/AVR/MCS51/6502/68K. ColecoVision, IBM PC (DOS/Windows), J2ME, MSX, Palm, PocketPC, PowerTV, Radio 86RK, Sega Master System, Sega Megadrive/Genesis, Symbian, ZX Spectrum. Several years of working as sound/tools/games programmer.
As composer:  Started in 1997. Any trackers, MIDI sequencers, and other stuff. Both chip and sampled music. I've also made music and sound effects for few commercial games. My favorite sound chip is 2A03. From sample-based formats and trackers I prefer XM and FT2/Skale/MilkyTracker.
Other:  Although I'm not artist in general, I have basic skills of hand drawing, pixel art, digital painting, low and hi-poly 3D modelling.
Interests: Computers and game consoles. Anything related to video games - history, emulation, programming, music, art. Programming for small-powered systems - software rendering and 2D graphics, for example.
Group: Currently none, though I often team up with Alone Coder to work on different ZX Spectrum-related projects.
