About Navaho Gunleg |
Based in The Netherlands (Europe), Navaho Gunleg is a UNIX software engineer.
He started coding at the age of 6 on the Commodore 64 that his father came home with one day. Because he was still a kid, his father and brother didn’t initially allow him behind the home-computers’ keyboard whilst they we’re typing over ‘Moonlander’, so the next very, very, early morning he had the computer all for himself. After PEEKing and POKEing around in C64 BASIC, he moved to GWBASIC on the DOS platform which was awfully similar to MSX BASIC. Soon he discovered the Borland-line of development products (Turbo Pascal) which enabled him to write “real” executables.
In his professional life, he started developing DOS and dBASE applications in Clipper that had a focus on administration and, basically, ‘computer aided manufacturing’.
When Delphi came out, of course, he wrote a few Windows games and applications.
Being a Linux-enthousiast for quite some time, he luckily had the opportunity to professionally focus on UNIX-flavoured operating systems and the internet, he switched jobs, and is now able to code in C, C++, PHP, Perl, various shell-scripting languages, et cetera.
After having worked for a telecommunication- and media company for quite some years to develop and maintain software to implement consumer services, he is currently working for a media company in The Netherlands.
In his spare time, from 2003 to 2006 he was a fellow moderator of the Security-Forums Dot Com-forums but due the lack of time quit moderating there. Since 2006, he made a few contributions to Darknet.org.uk.
And being politically enganged? Rather he’s politically enraged.
