Background

About Patrick Heney

I enjoy designing and building agent-based simulations of complex systems. I am creative and have a broad technical skill set, which I would love to leverage in an environment that inspires me. My technical skills range from full stack software application development to all aspects of game design and development. Due to my Journalism background, I speak and write English proficiently, and I am comfortable translating technical concepts to non-technical explanations when liaising between customers and technical team members. I also have extensive experience copy-editing and writing technical documents.
