Frederick Botha / Profile

On January 1999, I had the misfortune of falling backwards off the rails of a staircase. Tragically I broke my neck on the rim of a flowerpot and subsequently have become a quadriplegic. Being a quadriplegic meant losing all movement in my body from my neck down.

This in fact have made me more of a “power-user” and coder than most others. Most of my life have been spend in front of a PC, as this was and still is my only form of communication and making a daily existence bearable. I guess in cyber-space everyone can fly.

I completed and have obtained a B.sc degree in computer science in 2010, and I have been in Forex trading and coding of forex related software for almost 15 years now.

By profession i am a senior PHP developer, but the time constraints can be too hectic. I've been coding my own MT4/5 side-projects for over 10 years (when there's time)... but recently I changed to a "half-day" job, specifically to start Freelancing. I'm aiming to slowly but steadily move to freelancing. Almost same income but with way less "hecticness". ;-)
