Working a lot more with the game code and performing in depth searches to locate and verify all aspects of the game for players. This work involves good time management and also the ability to read information provided by our customers to maintain their account security. Also developing in house tools to assist the the work we do. Using C# & auto Hotkey on a daily basis to create our in house tools used by all staff in the EU CS departments. Using C# with SQL (with stored procedures) to create a number of data driven applications such as data storage and retrieval, auto execute applications designed to monitor online traffic in game and execute mass actions based on certain criteria, and in house tools for use by the CS terams. I am a highly motivated person with a passion for being creative and striving to improve on everything I do. As such I try to implement new ideas and create new ways of working and now tools to maximise both the performance and structure of the applications we create.
