I'm in the middle 40's living in Lithuania, my education is far from CS - I'm a geologist and petroleum engineer and the global paradigm shift and current oil prices pushing me to change something in my career path. Nevertheless, computers are not alienated to me. Back in the 1990s every second week I had computer science classes in high school with some old TURBO86M personal computer - I can't recall specs but these where PC/XT class soviet made personal computers. We used them to code with TurboPascal. Access to the PCs, as I already mentioned, was only every second week, the computer itself was expensive as hell and I didn't have one at home. To use the time with the computer at maximum efficiency, I wrote program code by hand in my notebook. For my typing speed efficiency, I had hand-drawn keyboard layout on a sheet of paper and daily practiced "typing" some text on it, so when I had access to the computer, I entered the program code as fast as I can (usually fastest in my class) and started debugging and tweaking programs.
In University I got familiar with Paradox, FoxPro and MS Access databases, some SQL. After graduation, my main duties were oilfields simulation. Back in the early 2000's I first met WordPress, then Drupal, and started to build my site/blog on spare time. This got me familiar with some HTML, CSS, PHP, I found out what child WordPress themes are. At the present I going through FreeCodeCamp certifications and learning Ruby on Rails for web development. Until the end of this summer I planning to deploy a simple social network with different paradigms than usual these days, the network, which will tend users to think, meditate before publishing and post their thoughts and impressions for a long time.
Main values, I believe in are:
Equality for everyone;
Privacy/security and anonymity on the internet;
Lifelong learning.
At present, I'm open to a part-time remote job, even at the internship level in exchange for real-world experience.
