About
Got my roots in the horticulture sector and started working fulltime (at a Rose Grower) after my internship in NOTL (Ontario, Canada). Worked myself up to the part of foreman. At 2003 i started building websites (part-time) and worked my way towards a career switch. Teached myself in the tiny bit of spare time i had (worked 6-7 days a week). I never thought that years later i would be at this point. I am very proud of what i've reached so far.
