C# Developer at Johannesburg
Skype: T00lmaker <- 2 zero's...

I have been developer for over 8 years,

Languages known to me:

MQL4 - 2 years
MQL5 - 3-4 years
C# an ASP - 7 years
Java/Servlets - 2 years
SQL (flavours MySQL/Prost gress) - 2 years
MS SQL - 6 years

I love coding and MQL5! I occasionally play games (shooters/RPG). If my wife drag me by my ears I'm forced to do sports with her. My friends just have to ask me to join them with any sport and I'm in! because then the challenge is on baby!!
