My name is Danny Moules, otherwise known as Rushyo to the internet community. I am a programmer who has a special interest in the fields of Games Development and Security Analysis. I currently work at iQ Business Ltd (AKA iQ Medical) developing cutting-edge software for elements of the National Health Service.
I was born March 20th 1987 and I have been a British resident all my life. I'm forward-thinking and always looking for opportunities to push the talents I have honed over the years, from many different fields, to their limits. I am competitive and a perfectionist, striving to excel in all I do.
Inevitably I try doing something fanciful with my sites, but I find the simpler ones end up being the most used. Thus, this incredibly sophisticated site containing three div boxes.
My most significant personal work is IPTwo, a persistent online multiplayer video game which closed down several years ago after running successfully for four years and supporting hundreds of simultaneous users. I wrote my first BASIC app when I was 10, my first TCP socket code when I was 15, my first MMO when I was 16 and my first 3D game when I was 18. Recently I have been developing GPU shaders such as parallex mapping, familiarising myself with XNA, learning the intricacies of modern naval warfare (for developing a video game) and improving my suite of mathematical formula libraries.
My hobbies include airsoft (which is similar to Paintball but takes the form of a military simulation, using real military tactics and replica weaponry that fire harmless pellets), music (I am a vocalist, bassist + cornet player and also have a home music studio which I have not yet put to good use), developing 3D art (using 3DSMax) and roleplaying but I think of myself as very versatile and interested in a wide variety of things. I am well versed in certain eras of history and have an active interest in politics.
I often develop modifications for video games and I also run an on-and-off video game clan known as the 11th Federal Infantry. I have a dedicated server for hosting both commercial non-persistent online games and open-source persistent online games.
I am familiar with many languages and libraries including PHP, C#, VB.NET, ASP (Classic), VBScript, Javascript, C++, XHTML 1.1, CSS, Java, VB6, XNA, DirectX, HLSL, Python, Bash and SQL to name only the most immediately significant. I am comfortable with many aspects of the Win32 API and can develop applications in x86 assembly, as well as reverse-engineering and modifying binary executables.
I have experience with hosting servers on a variety of operating systems in various configurations. I am particularly fluent in Apache/MySQL/Windows 2003 distributions but I am also familiar with IIS, MS SQL, Ubuntu and Fedora Core. I am familiar with VMWare applications and Microsoft Virtual PC. I have a CLAIT qualification and I am familiar with many other common software suites.
I have done some security work and genuinely believe in full disclosure, following the lead of many of the world's governments and universities in providing information about exploits in publically-utilised software. More information about this and other security work can be found at PUSH 55 Security Solutions.
