I built my first computer when I was 11 years old and ever since then, technology as a whole became not only a career but my primary passion in the pursuit of knowledge. At this young age, database development became an area of interest after being involved with an open source development team that worked hard to build an emulated system of a virtual world. Following this, I naturally found web development which coincided with my passion for big data. Since then, I've been a professional full-stack developer for over 15 years.
