I begin at 9 years old(I'm now 45), on a ZX SPECTRUM, I didn't have many games, so I wanted to understand how to do games, so I could play more.

From there I learned Basic -> Z80 Assembler -> Pascal -> C (my true love) -> C++ (not so loved.. sometimes hated) -> C# -> and many assembler flavours (ARM, MIPS, PIC...)

I love low level, so I work in kernel, drivers, bare metal...
