About

Picture of Steve

I’m a former aeronautical engineer who decided to follow his passion of becoming a developer.

I loved solving technical problems and programming as an aeronautical engineer but I yearned to write programs a user could interact with directly.

One day my previous employer asked me to help him build a web application using Joomla. As I began creating the web app designed to take donation from charity, I knew straight away web development was a perfect match.

I loved the feeling of building a product somebody could use and get real value from. What I love most was the chance to utilize creativity to solve a real world problem.

Since then I began to see the potential difference software could make in the world.
