After I had moved across the country and left behind a job in a computer repair center I started my own company, where I sold computer hardware and performed repairs for consumers, and website building and maintenance for several businesses.One of the more challenging projects I undertook was the website for PIM online. An old website had to be upgraded with a new template with a theme designed by an external design bureau. This all had to be coded in a custom port of velocity with barely any coherent documentation. By extensively studying the existing code base I was able to implement the template with a functioning website as per commission.When the financial crisis hit money got really tight due to the lacking of commissions to fulfill in my area. My strong point isn't sales but coding, and to be able to support my family, I halted my business and went into the job circuit to have a stable income.It was through my own company I discovered my own potential as a coder in the job circuit and was able to get the first real measure of my capabilities compared to others.
