Info
I have been using the Web (WWW) and Internet since 1994, when I
was studying a Computer Science Degree (BSc) course at UEL
(University of East London) in Barking, Essex, UK.
I first started using technology at 3-4
years of age (in 1977/78) by visits to the Arcades and playing on a LED
space video game. Later on I was given an Atari 2600
and a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, where I learned programming in
BASIC, plus playing a lot of video games. End of the
1980's I did get a Commodore Amiga (where I learned more
BASIC), followed by my first PC, a second-hand Olivetti
386sx-16mhz, back in 1992. I started learning HTML in
1994, hosting my
first website on UEL's web server. The early days of
the Web and the Internet was a big factor for me in
deciding to work in IT professionally. My first IT
job was as a Junior IT Administrator back in 1996
administrating Windows NT, UNIX and Novell servers.
My work lead me to mainly using and supporting Microsoft
O/S's and software. Up until now, it's been 29 years
in a career in IT, full of adventures.
Today, I work remotely and occasionally hybrid, in broad and
varied IT roles for nonprofits in the UK. I have recently been using the Python
programming language, and improving my Linux skills.
Teresa-Ling Friend my wife is a Business Analyst. We
first met at UEL in 1995 and got married in 1998.
