User:Maltalinks

My name is Mark Smith and I am a former writer based in Malta and the UK. I think that Wikipedia has benefited millions of people and thus contribute what I can to make it a better resource.

=General information about me=

I am originally from England and have spent many years working in Malta, where I came to work in its online gaming industry, initially doing SEO and writing copy. I am no longer employed in the gaming industry but have extensive personal knowledge from over ten years working in it. I have a computer science degree and have a long term interest in artificial intelligence and its applications.

I am an occasional contributor to Wikipedia, starting out in 2008 doing small fixes, and eventually deciding to participate more fully in 2018.

My nick, Maltalinks, is a rather old one that predates Wikipedia :-)
