I've been tinkering in the world of computers from an early age. From the days of Commodore 64, DOS Shell and later Windows 3.11, systems and internet development have been the name of the game. I've put together my own computers and web servers in a constant effort to learn how they work. Build something myself, better, cheaper, and more robust!.I maintained my own severs for many years, using them for multiple uses ranging from a simple web server, database server, file backup server all the way to security test beds for testing network weaknesses.After relocating to Vancouver Island for the past 3 years, I am back and eager to resume my passion for building and designing computerized systems and writing web-based software.Specialties: C, C++, php, Java, Perl, .NET, mySQLAdvanced knowledge of Windows OSAdvanced Knowledge of Linux OS
