User:Disavian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm taking a bit of a personal break from editing Wikipedia, so I'm not as active as usual.

I'm Andrew Guyton, and my online alias is Disavian. I'm an undergraduate Computer Science student at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia. I've also lived in Colorado, Florida, and Germany. I'm employed by the Georgia Tech Research Institute, where I do windows-based programming. I'm also a staff writer and copy editor for The Technique, Georgia Tech's student newspaper.

I graduated from the International Baccalaureate program at Pensacola High School in Pensacola, Florida. In high school, I was particularly involved in Mu Alpha Theta, and attended numerous competitions. My interests include programming, video gaming (especially in the genres of first-person shooters and real-time strategy), art (particularly fractals, photography, and photomanipulations). I have a blog and a deviantART gallery.

My first anonymous edit was on November 30, 2005, and my first edit as a registered user was on February 8, 2006. and My 1000th mainspace edit was on June 5, 2006. On November 16, 2006, I started WikiProject Georgia Tech, in order to organize contributors focused on Georgia Tech-related articles. As of August 20, 2007, I have significantly contributed to two Featured Lists, three Featured Articles, and 16 Good Articles. I also have accounts on meta and commons.
