I convert ideas into reality for a given amount of money. In other words, I am a freelancer (or mercenary), but the first sentence sounds better ?
In my past life had been the R+D head in a couple of companies designing, manufacturing and deploying Telecom devices. I learnt a lot but got totally burnt and a moment arrived when my learning curve was negative. This happened about 9 years ago.
Have thought several times, specially when things get hard as lately, to go back to civilization and get again a regular job, but something still retains me at the wild side.

Since you convert ideas and dreams into reality ... I dream of being a billionaire .. can you do something?
Yes, but it will cost you 2 billions. One for my services, and one that will be returned to you, so you will be billionaire
I am a software developer. I am working on a project to make it easier to manage data protection clients, generate detailed reports and keep track of them with dashboards.
I am trained as an IT specialist for system integration, but most of the time I was thinking about programming. UPS ?

I'm living the dream, at only 22 years old (when I started 21) I've already made it.

This forum is strictly prohibited for children under 36. You must be of age double better if tripleI'm living the dream, at only 22 years old (when I started 21) I've already made it.
in half a year unfortunately already 23.

Who knows if i still have the desire, time and motivation to change the world at 36. Better now than later.
Am I the youngest expert member?
You have certainly achieved your goal! Long may you continue.I started programming at the age of 10, and 30 years later I still have motivation to make the world a bit better
what were you using to code 30 years ago?
like a lot of people, coding was for me something that only genius people can do. In 2006 I start investigating it a little bit (because of a college in my work) and realized that also "simple" people can code and this is why I started learning it.

I too started coding 30 / 35 years ago. 8 bit computers were just becoming available to the masses. I personally started on a Sinclair ZX-81 in BASIC which got me really interested but it was so SLOW. I happened to read an article in a magazine at the time that mentioned Assembly language and gave some simple examples. I was instantly hooked on the challenge so walked a few miles to my local library and checked out several books on Z80A Assembly.
Years later when PC's became available I wrote a few accounting systems which I started in GWBasic but when Borland released their Turbo C language I made the swap.
You have listed your jobs in the wrong order. Or you like to live dangerously. On the bright side: if you suddenly stop posting, at least we'll have a good idea what happened.

Nope - he's struggling because he can't play the guitar AND hold the cap out - maybe he can't even play the guitar.
