Technology is my greatest passion. It has been like that since i was a teenager. I started to develop an interest in computers and programming at the age of 13, initially I developed software in languages like Turbo Pascal or later Visual Basic, which evolved into internet and web development. My platforms of choice these days are PHP 5, HTML (5), CSS and Javascrip for web development as well as Titanium Appcelerator for mobile application development.

A decision in my life that now, at an older age, I regret is that I did not take too much care of a formal education. After I migrated to New Zealand, I did study for a while at the University of Auckland, but the environment (90% of the people in the course did not have any passion and it seemed they only learned enough from the books to pass tests) was something that I just could not accept. My own company that I also started parallel to enrollment at university was doing pretty ok back then, so I decided to focus on my own business rather than formal education. At that time it was a great choice for me personally, today I regret it however since a lot of companies won't give you a chance to even introduce yourself without a degree.

Over the years I realised the convenience. advantage and benefits of the internet and connected mobile devices. My mission today is to make these advantages in high quality available to small and medium sized businesses and organisations.
