That is the first program most learn in any language. In my first post, I thought this might be a good introduction to myself - providing a summary of my background and skills in the world of IT. And I know that things have well and truly changed since I first started writing software compared to now.

From code to counselling, I've always enjoyed helping others thrive. After a fulfilling career as a software developer (MSc in Computing, QUT, 30+ yrs experience!), I transitioned to counselling and administration roles. Now, I share my tech knowledge as an IT tutor. When I'm not guiding others, I'm whipping up delicious dishes, jamming to some tunes, or cheering on my AFL team!
