I've been hooked on Linux and programming since 1997, and I've been running my own IT-business since 2010. Since the start of my company I've been running a multitude of Linux and *BSD-servers, published two books about programming, been making and maintaining websites and held programming courses in Python, PHP and HTML5. During 2013 and 2014 I studied Linux systems and programming. During my studies I taught at several study groups.
