The MTA Team is the team of developers that actively work on Multi Theft Auto. Since Multi Theft Auto is freeware software, developing is a voluntary job.
The MTA Team consists of developers from Europe as well as North-America that devote quite some spare time to bring you this cool piece of software.

What I do: I work on many parts of MTA: BLUE. Mostly in the SDK interface and the official mods we develop such as Race and Editor.
Who I am: I'm a self-taught C/C++/Delphi/Asm programmer from Norway and I spend most of my sparetime developing. I started programming at the age of 13 and I still love it. In the past I've been working on a project called THPS3CU (mod manager for THPS3 in Delphi). Also done lots of minor applications to improve my programming skills later including a small Operating System. I started on a project called GTA:AMMO, but it was never finished because the MTA Team offered me a position in their team as one of their coders.

What I do: I'm in charge of developing and maintaining the game interface for the current MTA core. This involves a lot of "research", finding methods to control the game the way we want. I also work on many other areas of the mod, and did most of the ground work for the MTA map editor. I also specify many other parts of the mod - working out how they should work and documenting them so other team members can implement them and the QA team can provide feedback before any code has actually been written.
Who I am: I'm 20, from London (UK) and I'm currently suddying computer science at the University of London. I know C++, Java, Visual Basic, JavaScript, ASP, PHP. In my spare time I work on MTA and play Natural-Selection (half-life mod) (plus other not so geeky things). In my holidays I work for a reinsurance company doing support tool development and server/networking management.
