About

I've always loved playing games and was hardcore competitive in them. I never gave up and have always strived towards being a better player than the day before, this is my motto. For my first job i worked as a Computer Service Engineer and was given the duty of fixing software issues regarding Windows XP(mostly driver troubleshooting). I'll admit it was very frustrating at first but as the tasks got more challenging, the more satisfaction I had with cracking them. I realized i was a challenge junkie, so I started working in the event industry as an IT support and planning specialist. The beginning was fun, budgets were low, I was still a novice, there were myriad of problems, but, at some point, everything was almost perfect. There was one downside though, after the planning and the setup everything would quiet down, no problems to solve, it became mundane and I needed my fix. Then after taking course in PHP my life had changed. Learning programming was the best thing that happened to me. Each day was like playing a game you can always get better at. Each day brings new things to learn, and the number of angles you can take for solving a problem are endless. With the right mindset you are bound to be better than the day before.
