Know Your Arekibian : Kyle
Next up on our "Know Your Arekibian" series is Kyle, a senior developer at Arekibo with a passion for golf.
What was your journey to Arekibo?
After getting a degree in Computer Science from Queens University Belfast, I had a few jobs with web related stuff. Then after travelling Australia for 2 years I decided I wanted to get a job in asp.net. At the same time my sister was looking for an ecommerce website, so over the next year I built a custom ecommerce platform from scratch in asp.net. After that I went looking for a .net job and Arekibo took me on.

At one point I wanted to be a pilot and even got flying lessons, I realised pretty quickly that it may not have been for me.
