Hi, my name is Thiago! I was born and raised in Toledo a small town in the state of Paraná located in south Brazil. Since child I was amazed by computers and programming languages, my first website framed HTML with lots of animated gifs was developed using Microsoft FrontPage 2000 around my 10 years old.
Around end of 2006 I started learning PHP and MySQL; In 2007 I was already envolved on PHP Brazilian's websites and contributing with open source code and articles (PHPBrasil article, PHPBrasil script, also some PHPNuke modules).
