About This site

This site is built with a PHP framework called Eden which I authored personally. This website first started out as my base of operations where I organize my personal projects, contracts. Since then, I opened that functionality, which help me become successful in my career, and made it available to the public and called it Kolibo. This site is still my sandbox for testing new technologies. I set up this website network from the server to the design. Being a programmer, I usually work with existing designs and don't often get to create my own so this site makes me smile.

Oh yes I respond to everyone who personally emails me within the same day. Try it yourself!
