Through Linux initially.

In my early teens, I started tinkering with Slackware and then Debian. I eventually started following tutorials to add cron jobs to do things I needed. I started adding some logic around them.

I kept at it. Kept getting familiar with command line tools, bash scripting, logic, and so on.

I was going to go to Uni for Computer Engineering but changed to Computer Science because the code and logic part appealed more to me.

I went to University for a few years and I was freelancing. There was a strike at the university and other projects fell in my lap. I was making money in my field, so I just kept doing that.
