About RLV Blog
My name is Dan and this is where I share tips and thoughts on computers and development. I've been a computer enthusiast for 20+ years, working as a computer/network technician as well as a games, software & web developer. Currently I work at Nexer Worklife specialized in SharePoint, Office 365 and Azure development. In my spare time I also make PC utilities that can be downloaded from RL Vision.
