My Journey from Curious Kid to Vodafone Software Developer
I’ve been fascinated by technology for as long as I can remember. I was an incredibly curious kid – there wasn’t a single toy I wouldn’t take apart to figure out how it worked. My parents weren’t fond of this hobby, but the destruction largely ended at age six, when I got my first computer. […]
