After high school I got a data entry role in a Satellite broadcaster's IT department doing Crystal Reports templates for boring subscriber reports (i.e. how many subscribers in this region cancelled last month). I picked up SQL and VB6 doing this, then around 1999 the company decided to start doing everything web-based and I got thrown into learning ASP, Java Servlets, JSP and no one bothered to question my lack of experience. Things grew from there to doing online community micro-sites, TV program webpages (Southpark in Taiwan) etc until the dot-com bomb and everyone left - I went to study engineering.
Note: I am not a professional developer/programmer, although people pay me money to do software development
- olalonde 16y agoCare to explain the note?
- albahk 16y agoSince 2001 I haven't had a programming job. I did not finish my engineering degree (got a Finance/Mandarin degree instead) I work in an unrelated industry (real estate) so I placed a caveat on my story for the OP who requested 'Professional Developers'. But, I have done part-time/freelance work and got paid for it. Nice site and portfolio, BTW
