I build things.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

Various things. I'm a freelance programmer (with some networking and server work thrown in), a student worker at a law firm (with future employment, hopefully) and I have a small recording studio.

 

The programming is what brings home the money, the student job is to further my studies and the studio is to cater to my passion.

 

I also do odd jobs here and there, but those rarely pay too well.

Front-end Developer but I guess Fullstack is where I'm headed - with support function for web Checkouts for a quite big financial institution (400+ people)

I have created some websites for other companies as a side projects/deals (They were on Wodpress sooo). Did some surveillance installation at one point, and before my current job I was System Administrator/Theonlysupportguytheyhad for Irrigation company.

Anything and everything Information/Cyber security... from both the analytical and engineering side of things. Oh and toss in a lot of DLP crap and you are set.

 

On the side, I have started investing in to real-estate to make a nice sustainable side income.
