Hello!
My name is Mikael and I've just signed up for a Fedora account to be
able to contribute to the Fedora Websites Project for starters.
_About myself_
I'm a middle aged father of two beautiful kids. I live in the southern
parts of Sweden. Computers is my life. I've got my first computer in
1982 when I was seven years old. It was a Commodore 64 with a tape
station. My first programming experience was in C64 Basic. My first
favorite computer game was Miner 2049'er. Besides my interest in
computers I like to cook and spend time with my family and kids. I also
read (eBooks or audio-books) a lot. Right now I'm reading Factfullnes by
Dr Hans Rosling.
_My skills_
*Software Programming* - I know a lot of different programming
languages, but my strength lies within ADA, Pascal, Java, Microsoft c#
and Visual Basic.
*Web development* - I also know a lot of different web development
languages and systems. I started out with HTML, Lotus Script and Lotus
Domino Web server many years ago. But today my strengths lay within PHP,
HTML, JavaScript, AJAX, XSLT, JSON, etc. I also know a lot about web
server operations on both Linux and Windows. In my professional life I
have been working with both Apache and IIS.
*Databases* - I have came across a lot of databases during my life.
Within my professional life I have been working with Microsoft SQL
Server, MySQL, SAP Basis, SAP HANA and Oracle databases.
*Operations* - In my professional life I have been working both as a
software engineer but also as an operations engineer. So I know a bit
about both worlds and the many, so hard to solve struggles between "the
software developer" and "the server operator". I'm familiar with both
Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and a lot of other Linux flavors. I am also very
experienced on the Microsoft platforms.
*Everything else* - I'm very skilled when it comes to translating
content between English and Swedish. I have written a lot of support
articles for basically everything between how to connect your modem to a
telephone line and how to write surveillance scripts in Nagios. I like
to write technical articles.
That's the short version of me. Thank you all for your time.
Kind regards, Mikael Granberg
