Playing Oregon Trail in the 4th grade in the mid 80's. Later when I reached 9th grade the TI-85 was hacked and someone wrote a loader for compiled binaries. Thus began my journey down the rabbit hole and began my obsession with hardware hacking and coding. I initially learned z80 assembly and basic but quickly moved on to Turbo Pascal, Turbo C and x86 Assembly. I was hugely interested in the demo scene in the 90's then windows 95 came along. I moved on to learning Visual Basic, Visual C++ and started learning HTML, php and web development. Eventually I did a stint with java for about 6 years and then have been doing .net and c# development for the past 8 or so. What a ride it has been. =p
