Summary

Moved from being a hobbyist to a professional web/software developer in the past 7 years and still counting. From Visual Basic 6 to .NET framework to Python/Django and now taking a dive into PHP. I have built a number of web and desktop applications. I have learnt a whole lot through mistakes and experiments and I am constantly seeking opportunities to create and add value.

My mission here is simple, make everyday count by teaching or by learning. Either way, I am learning.
