My love for User Interfaces (UI) and User Experience (UX) first stemmed from using Bulletin Board Systems back in the early 90s. After getting access to the internet in it’s early years (think Netscape, Windows 95, Geocities), my curiosity extended to how websites were created. This led me to learn HTML and Macromedia Flash from as early as 17 years old, in 1999.
It was only in 2008 that I started creating websites professionally. The internet started going mainstream then, along with the web 2.0 trend. Things changed very quickly. I had to self learn new technologies like HTML4, CSS3, Javascript and PHP in order to stay ahead of the game. That self-improvement mentality has stuck with me since.
