Menace Studio

About Dennis Rongo

Dennis
My expertise/skills is primarily based on web development. I strive in learning the latest technologies, business ideas and new web/software development trends and practices.

Menace Studio was launched in March 23, 2005 as a web portfolio. My experience in web development however dates back to 2001 when I first learned VB6. I play with PHP once in a while but I'm mostly focused on .NET these days.

I love quotes, bodybuilding, personal finance and investing, reading books and just learn more about everything! I love playing chess and have been playing it since I was 7. I used to play in tournaments back when I was in high school.

Core Philosophy

I believe in strengthening and taking care of our mind, body and soul. I use working out to keep myself in shape and as a relief from stress.
