Shirzad has been working with computers & doing programming since early childhood using the BASIC computing languages that were developed on the Atari 400, Apple IIe & Commodore 64 models & GW-Basic on the PC platform.

As a kid he used to play computer games, program and even wrote a variety of applications on the Atari 400, Apple IIe & PC platforms, his parents forced him to take up music lessons as a means to keep him away from computers.
