My name is Rick Kuipers, I was born on 19 July 1993.
I grew up in The Netherlands in Apeldoorn.

Started working with computers at an early age, quickly discovered the
World-Wide-Web.

A friend and I founded a gaming community and I had to create a website for it. Soon after that I started to get more involved into programming. I then got 2 books from the library, one about ActionScript & Flash and one about PHP & MySql. Those 2 books gave me the push in the right direction.

Ever since then I've been playing with these programming languages. My dad started to ask me to make certain things, one of those things was a Online Photo Print Service. The customer had to be able to login, upload pictures, select sizes and submit the order.
This made me jump into a lot of coding, thanks to that I've learned the technical side of websites.

After that I created a website for myself, I forced myself to write it in notepad. It gave me the experience I needed to call myself a webmaster/webdesigner.

Since I graduated high school, I can finally continue studying on something that does apply to my job. I also want to focus on pursuing my business. I'm eager to learn more languages and offer my customers the best products and service.
