About me
Hi, my name is Philip Hagen, and I live in Perth, Western Australia, working as a software engineer. I enjoy working with .NET and related technologies, and have an interest in recreational and indie game development although I struggle to find the time to dabble with it.
I’m very into martial arts, mainly training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a bit of knife combatives. I’m interested in mixed martial arts but I don’t currently train regularly. I go to the gym for strength training, focusing on heavy compound exercises such as the squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press, pullups, barbell rows, and dips. I try to eat a lot of good food to maximise my muscle while staying fairly lean.
My musical preferences include drum ‘n bass, electro, breaks, hip hop, and occasionally metal. I also have an interest in cars, particularly Japanese sports cars such as the Lancer Evolution, Skyline, Supra, RX7, and so on.
This website mainly exists as a sort of public diary where people can find out what I’ve been up to. I also find it to be a useful archive of information that I can later look back on. I tend to post a mixture of personal info, interesting or funny links, and technical content.
Hope you enjoy the site.
