      <biography>Programming is not only my profession but also my hobby and integrated into my lifestyle. I think that computers and technology help me lead a more fulfilling life and make best use of my time. My family, friends, and co-workers would call me a geek or nerd. I am proud of those titles. I have always been working with a website in various forms since 1996. I grew up with computers and technology. I don&#8217;t know what I would be like without that. </biography>
