Linux Server Administration developer in South Africa (UTC+2)

Hi there. Nice to meet you stranger. So who am I? I'm a self taught developer who studied film and television at Open Window, simply because I love movies. After freelancing for a couple years in the video production space, I decided to I need something more stable. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie by trying to come up with a fairytale story about how I just happened to fall in love with software out of nowhere, well actually, it kinda did happen to my surprise, after pursing android development, for the sake of creating a fitness running application, because I love running and I've always loved fitness apps. I eventually found myself an internship as an android developer at Apptechnix. A few months after, I signed a contract as PHP developer at Providence Software Solutions. To my luck, I landed my current permanent position before my contract expired. With over 3 years of experience as a frontend developer, I've had the privilege to do some amazing work at Kriterion.
