I am a self taught programmer hailing from the late 90's back in the days when a couple of gifs on a web page made a really good website, especially if it was animated gifs :-)

now i am the manager of my own web department.

I love to code and love to work with databases, i run 3 windows web farms, sql server farm and a mysql cluster on 4 linux servers. you never really realise how good linux really is until you actually need them for some real work.
