About Me…

Who is This Guy Anyway?

I am Mike Walker, and fullduplex.org is the small plot of land that I’ve claimed in the goldrush that is blogging. I am the ripe old age of 23, and I have a keen interest in web and user-experience design. I am a bedroom DJ, and I play hardcore and drum & bass.

I am currently working for a company named Xplornet doing Level 2 Technical Support, but I also do free lance web design when I get a free moment or two.

I’m currently taking an indefinite amount of time off from my studies in the ancient arts of Computer Science at the University of New Brunswick, after spending 3 years (and $30k) working towards my degree, then realizing I hate computers.

You can hit me up at mike [at] fullduplex [dot] org, or use the contact form. Cheers!

You may also want to take a gander at the blogs I read if you tire of my ramblings.
