Computer Enthusiast
I have enjoyed learning about computers since a friend gave me an 8088 computer. I started learning the DOS operating system as well as the BASIC language. In high school I was what many of my classmates considered a computer nerd. I got interested in the linux operating system at the time, learning as much as I could about the command line and how to operate the x windows system as well as how to compile programs. In college I took a hardware class and started building my own computers for fun and to use for gaming.
