About Me

Hi there! I'm Michael. I'm a passionate, self-taught programmer. Since I was a little kid I always wanted to know how the world and the things in it are working. Sometimes my parents had to pay the price for that curiosity, because opening the family VCR and have a look at the components inside was easier then figuring out how to put the whole thing back together, so that left my family sometimes with devices that "mysteriously" stoped working. But most of the time it wasn't my fault, I promise. 😉
