I'm a trained mathematician, but old enough to elude anything serious regarding computers during my studies more than 25 years ago. I did some Turbo Pascal + Assembler for my own interests completely self-taught during that period, though. I had to change direction at 31. After five years with small gigs mixed 50/50 with employment (main result: Getting an in-depth grasp of C++), I became a full-time freelancer at the turn of the millenium. I never looked back and always learned along the way. Because people continue reaching out to me, I tend to think doing some things right.
