1993 - I was born in a dead boring town and was very shy. In this context my dad's computer was utterly awesome.

2001 - After seeing my brother coding in Clipper 5 I wanted to do the same. I didn't have manuals or Internet access (I lived in the 3rd world) so I reverse engineered my brother's code to learn.

2003/2004 - Fell in love with infosec. Low level code for crackers, network protocols, etc. Already had a basic internet connection and I was really happy learning.

2011 - Went to the uni to meet other people like me and finally master all these "hackers stuff" I loved. Uni was underwhelming and time-consuming but got a few good friends and started loving software development.

2016 - After years of being working on side projects and teaching at uni I finally got my first job as developer.

2021 - Not really happy spending my time in meetings and fire fighting production issues. Thinking about what I want to do next.
