My story with computers started when I was still a kid, with an Amiga 500 connected to a TV screen. That first machine opened a completely new world for me: games, graphics and the feeling that you could make a computer do anything if you learned how it thinks.

Later I moved to Windows XP. That is where my real passion for the Windows world began. I spent many evenings exploring settings, installing software and breaking things just so I could fix them again.

With Windows 7 (64-bit) I discovered the web. I started to experiment with HTML and PHP, building my first simple pages and forms. To give that a stronger base, I followed evening classes in informatics where I learned the fundamentals of HTML and PHP, and later continued with C+ and JavaScript.

Today that curiosity has become both my hobby and my profession. I design and build websites, templates and small tools that help people and businesses work better. I still enjoy the same feeling I had with the Amiga 500: sitting behind a screen, creating something from nothing but ideas and code.

• Amiga 500 – first home computer with TV as monitor.
• Windows XP – growing love for the Windows ecosystem.
• Windows 7 (64-bit) – discovery of HTML & PHP.
• Evening classes – basics of HTML, PHP, then C+ and JavaScript.
• Today – web & software development as work and hobby.

I like projects that mix old-school computer spirit with clean, modern web technology. If you grew up with classic machines too, we probably speak the same language.
