Hey there, I'm James Pizzurro, probably known to you as '£cho' or 'Grey Echo' or 'madkowa', if at all. I specialized in programming for the Source engine under the now defunct Agent Red Productions, but I did some compiling, mapping and animating work from time to time too. I was also an occasional guest host on Podcast 17.
