About Me

From the early days of the Commodore 64 and ZX81, I was fascinated by what computers could do. Though tools were limited back then, I experimented with programming, which later evolved into professional development work.

In 2006, I started developing and hosting personal websites. Over time, this grew into professional projects, specializing in PHP and backend systems.
