I was born in a Mining Town, it has a Mining School and a Power Plant. My father was a mining engineer. I graduated from another mining school which has better reputation in the nation (my father said) with BS in mining engineering. Having worked as a Mining Engineer in large mines I have learned the mining engineering from practical reality. I also worked as a Lecturer in a Mining University, I learned the mining engineering in depth and have several mine design projects done. Coming to the United States I continue my study in mining engineering and strengthen my computer knowledge. I learned mining engineering in American way and have done a mine design project by using MedSystem. Taking computer related classes I learned more about the computers and computer languages, working as a Computer System Administrator I use what I learned from classes.
