Andrei-Silviu Marinache is 29 years old, and he has been working with computers since he was 8 years old. He began to like Linux and networks in the 9th grade, at high school. He often skipped classes just to spend a little more time on the Internet, in the high school's informatics laboratory. He has now more than 12 years of network-experience, a Master's in Informatics Security and works as a System Engineer for one of the biggest telecommunication companies in Romania.
Andrei began to use Cacti when version 0.8 appeared, and since then he continuously tweaked, bug-fixed, and improved it to suit his needs. Some of his patches were made available to the Cacti forum and to the Cacti team.
