Long story short I created my first website in 1998 when I was about 10 years old. I first got into computers through my father who had his first PC during the 80s as a hard core hobbyist and I instantly fell in love with HTML and CSS, the rest of the web languages followed.
I never stopped coding and writing. Been doing this daily ever since. I was full-on Internet very early on. My first touch in social media was with MySpace in the early 2000s, then after that I tried every single one I crossed paths with from Jaiku to Bebo, PicPlz ("Instagram" before Instagram), Friendster, Stumbleupon, Delicious, GetGlue, Google+... There were a lot of them, I counted over 160 social medias. It was more "wild west" back then, people made their own custom CSS and sites based on their profiles. Then came Facebook and ruined everything.
Anyway, on 2013 I started my own company specialized in websites and servers. We provide 100% customized WordPress-websites (without bloat) for our customers. They also get a home for their website with a top notch upkeep service. Dude was born. We are currently only in the Finnish market.
That's about it, I hope you feel you are in safe hands with me.

Hello! Let me tell this from the first person perspective. I'm a web developer, entrepreneur and a sysop guy from Finland (it's a small country up north in Europe, Scandinavia, between Russia and Sweden).
First Linux distribution for me was Red Hat variant (later Mandriva) which saw the light of day in 1998. After this during the 2000s I got into servers, again through my father who had his own home server running in a wardrobe (my mom hated that, haha).
