About Me Name: Sean Steven Watkins Date of Birth: 30 October 1991 Address: 15 Villa Marisa 19 St Dominic Road Hurlyvale Johannesburg South Africa 1609

Motivation I am not a simple person, I am large; in stature and heart, intricate and a deeper thinker than I would sometimes like to admit. I am thorough and meticulous, sometimes bordering on being a pedant. My fascination with technology stems from a deep seated passion for everything that seeks to do a task better and differently, as well as a deep seated nerdiness to fiddle and figure out how things work. I despise ‘doing something the way it’s always been done’, because I believe there is always a better way to do anything, similarly I don’t follow crowds and do something in a specific way because everyone else is doing it. I am not a person who reads manuals, I am far more interested in figuring it out on my own and trying new and innovative ways of doing that which has already been done. I am obsessed with learning absolutely anything from anatomy to physics, literature to art, and absolutely everything technology related. Economics and accounting I would rather skip. I love people and working in teams has always brought out the best in me. Due to my aforementioned large heart, not physically (it’s not a health issue), I am very accepting of criticism of my work, as I view it as an opportunity to learn and grow from my mistakes. I am a creative at heart, and I use writing as an outlet for the many weird and wonderful ideas that occur in my mind. I love stories and read as much science fiction and fantasy as I can get my hands on.
