Well, perhaps a bit of exaggeration, but I can do a lot of things pretty well.
ProgrammingI've worked professionally as an Actionscript 3 programmer, have since picked up Haxe/OpenFL and am developing a solo project in that, have thorough knowledge of C++, and know enough Java and C to get by. This is a pretty solid basis for learning most other languages I think, so I should be able to get up and running if you need me to work in another language for a while.
If you'd like some code to look over, here's a set of utility classes I made for loading and managing bitmap data written in Haxe (originally AS3, then ported and expanded):
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/100710544/BitmapManager.zipWritingI've been maintaining a blog with twice-weekly updates for the last couple of years at
http://problemmachine.wordpress.com . My writing's been featured on Gamasutra and Wordpress, and my analysis of Hotline Miami is the top result on google. The content of my posts ranges from
breakdowns of game mechanics to
reflections on the roles that games play in our lives to
personal essays about how a particular game has affected me.
ArtI've been doing a lot of 2d art over the last couple of years, and I'd say I'm pretty good at it. Unfortunately a lot of my recent work is not suitable for posting here, but here's a portfolio of some older stuff and some newer stuff:
http://problemmachine.wordpress.com/portfolio-illustration/AnimationI'm pretty new at it, but I feel like I'm learning quickly. Here's a sample of the prototype animation stuff I'm working on for my own game:
MusicI've written music, off and on, for more than a decade now. I work mostly in Reason, and... well, you know what they say about writing about music. I recently released an album on bandcamp, so listen to that rather than some grasping attempt for me to describe what I do:
http://problemmachine.bandcamp.com/GamesI've participated in Ludum Dare a few times, though recent attempts have had my reach exceed my grasp and haven't panned out. You can check out the games I completed (well, sort of):

I can probably do more, too, if it comes to that, but that's what I know I can do. If you're in need of a guy who can do the things that I can do, don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks.
