My name is Michael Kargas. I was born at 12/01/1980 and currently live in Thessaloniki/Greece. I've studied Mathematics at the Aristoteles University of Thessaloniki and work as a game programmer at Dot Red Games. Boring? Well,. I also use to hang around Pouet, for I have something to do with the demoscene since 1998. I have coded some lame demos, thrown some random pixels onto the screen, even dared to screw with a tracker, but my greatest ability shows off at wasting huge amounts of kbytes. I am known in the scene under the handle Optimus, being a member of Dirty Minds, Anubis and Mindlapse.
