MIKE CLASSIC

Like most people, I started off programming as a hobby, as early as twelve years old. I played with BASIC using QBasic and QuickBasic first before moving on to other languages and platforms... Having studied and worked in three major IT disciplines - Systems Administration, Networking, & Software Development - I ended up choosing a career path in Networking. Having gone to school for Networking and Security Analysis, I eventually left a career in Telecom to do development full time... Although I have plenty of experience with other frameworks, these days I tend to specialize in PHP and Laravel.
