Question 1. Let’s get to meet you. Tell me a bit about your background.
Since I was 9 years old I have been obsessed by computers & programming. I guess you can call me a nerd.

Lucky for me I found a good business mentor who allowed me to build out my first business which was a networking and IT integration business. This was back in 1994 when we were still messing around with coax networks and a super immature IT ecosystem.
