Hi. I am a Fedora user and first got to know Linux since Slackware 0.96 was released. After some decade (+) ago years I started to go towards Linux systems again and since I have used RH 7 and 9 I continued with Fedora by starting from version 3 and now using the latest.
Currently a Freelance consultant / Entrepreneur of a small ICT company in the southern Spain in business of offering Professional ICT Services for Companies in the Costa del Sol, Spain, area and subcontracting into other countries (like U.K., Finland etc.).
Also I am familiar with Ubuntu (some of latest editions), RHEL, CentOS and some others like Pi's Raspian and Pidora..


I started my "computer age" in the beginning of 80's using Aquarius, Amstrad and C32VIC + C64 (and Commodore PET!) and then professionally got involved briefly with systems like Digital PDP 10-30 and 11-30, VAX-VMS etc., first Unix being the System V and first C-compiler I used was a proper K&R. I still remember very well when we got first IBM PC in the company where I worked those days.. ..not involved with computers much anyhow.

Professionally I am in software development business by running my own company, IT Development Spain, in southern Spain (Costa del Sol) since year 2001.


Before moving permanently in Spain, some "more than" 10 years ago, I was working in Finland in some quite large companies such as Valio Data Oy, which was later outsourced to ICL Data (Fujitsu) where I was a software engineer being part of large scale projects like:

* Finland's dairy (milk) quota production calculation system for European Union Ministry of Agriculture at the time when Finland joined EU.
I speak Finnish, English and Spanish.
* Laboratory analysis software of milk quality for the Finnish milk producers (Valio Oyj).
* Logistics software for one of the worlds largest steel production company, Rautaruukki Corporation.
* I have also worked in projects for other large companies such as ABB-Strömberg, UPM-Kymmene, Uuden Kaupungin Autotehdas (Porche Car manufacruting in Finland) etc.
 
Later I went to work at Telecom Finland Oy as a Development Manager. Quite soon company changed its name to Sonera Corporation and again being now TeliaSonera, the largest telecommunications operator in Scandinavia, I was mainly working with Internet based products such as:
* eCommerce systems
* Payment gateways
* EDI
* Back Office connectivity etc.
* ..and some other mission critical systems including n-tier/2-phase committed transactional services etc.
 
I am myself fluent with C/C++, PHP and databases/SQL such as MySQL, Interbase, SQLServer and so on. Also I have done some programming with VB, Java, some C# etc. When running my own small company, its not just management and leadership.., there are always some coding to do for me as well and that's what I like.
