 | What is your professional background? What did you do before? As a child, I was always interested in technology and computers and while in school, I managed to get myself a part time job installing interactive devices, computer systems and networks. While working in my part time job, I realized I wanted a career working with computers but to be more involved in developing solutions. After school I pursued a Bsc(Hons) Information technology degree which got me into programming and eventually working for webshopapps. |
PROGRAMMING

| What part of project development is most gratifying to you? Implementation and verification phases give me a great sense of satisfaction after delivering a piece of work |

| What conditions do you need to concentrate when programming? Head phones, good music and a comfortable environment |
| When you check out code you wrote time ago, what's the main difference with respect to code that you write nowadays? My most recent code always looks better. I always feel to question whether I had actually written the old code. |
