I have been programming for more than 30 years, since it got hold of a Apple IIc first, and a TRS80 a bit later. I started his professional development career writing IBM mainframe assembler.
Via a short stint writing mainframe Cobol, I moved into writing in C, developing software to integrate the mainframe and PC world, mainly writing drivers for network operating systems like Novell Netware and Banyan Vines. This caused a gradual carreer shift from programming into networking, and until a few years ago, I was active as an infrastructure architect full-time.
However, the programming virus has never left me. At the end of the 20th century I picked up programming again, and decided to go for the then upcomming language for the web, PHP. And I have been developing applications in PHP ever since.
Now I still do some infrastructure consultancy on an ad-hoc basis, and spend most of my time running our web development and managed hosting business. And use my spare time to churn out more code!
