  I used to be the head journalist for the South African Gaming Network covering many I.T and eSports related articles as well as interviews with various important people in the I.T field.I left as I felt that I was doing far more than what I signed up for. I ended up running the backend of the site, writing my articles, editing the other journalists rare pieces which in essence meant I was running the site almost on my own. It did provide me with the skills to use Joomla and some great experience in writing professionally.
