I'm technical and do apply attention to detail and object orientation to real life objects.

So yes, I program in various languages and frameworks, I especially love low level programming languages where I can research and instrument with inheritance, composition and polymorphism. From my university days in Cape Town South Arica, I was intrigued by sprites and how pixelated sprites can be the cause of the whole gaming area. Low level was my starting point, but nowadays I'm also intrigued with programming with fast effective high level program languages.
