About Newtrics...

Newtrics was initially designed as a personal online webspace, but I later decided to provide professional IT solutions, help and services. Newtrics was designed on 14th of February 2007, foremerly known as Sticsoft and has grown over the past few years. As the author and developer of Newtrics, I try (as much as I find time) to keep the site updated and relevant to IT.

About me (author of Newtrics)

Have been working in IT for over 10 years and gained a Computer Science degree in 2008. My objectives are to keep up with technology and IT, it is the future and any direction we follow will have something to do with it. This has also been the reason for a minor change in career --levelling up from hardware services to software development and which is what I currently work in -a Software Development/Consultant company.
