This is where I consider starting my career in Web development. I began working in their sign shop, installing vehicle graphics and making all types of advertising signs. In my spare time was teaching myself to program and developing small websites and applications on my own. It wasn't long before I was working in the office several days a week, assisting the marketing teams to deliver solutions to clients. Flash forward 2 years and I was managing all of the office equipment in both locations, responsible for developing and delivering to clients; Websites, Web Applications, standalone interactive instructional CDRom (OLGC Instructional Lottery Terminal simulator)
