REM Staff Bio - Ryan Covert

Role at REM: Software Developer and resident gaming addict.

Education: Attended the University of Guelph (U of Moo!) for a degree in Computer Science.

Previous Work Experience: Software Developer at InsightU, Software Developer at Punch Integrated Communications Inc. and Software Developer at Ronneberger Computing Inc.

Something That Makes Me Smile at Work: Each and every time I'm delivered a fun and challenging project to work on. At REM, that happens every day!

Something I Find Fascinating: Quantum mechanics and all things computing (was that ever any wonder?), especially emulation.

Current Game Addiction: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

FAVORITE THINGS

Web sites: IGN.com, StackOverflow.com, TheDailyWTF.com, DamnYouAutoCorrect.com

Books: The Accidental Billionaires (the book that "The Social Network" was based upon)

Food: Hamburgers and pizza (Programmer food!)

TV Shows: How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, The Office, Two and A Half Men, Modern Family

Music: Nine Inch Nails / Trent Reznor, most movie or game soundtracks, trance channels on DI.fm carry me through my work day

Sports: Hockey, volleyball and baseball

Hobbies: Gaming (console, PC and on my custom-built, stand-up arcade), home improvement projects and discovering new things to enjoy with my son

App: ScummVM for jailbroken iPads. It enables you to play the old point'n'click adventure games (think “Day of the Tentacle” or “Indiana Jones”) of the 90s on your iOS device.

Words to live by: Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.” - Albert Einstein
