I am an amateur chess program writer.

I started learning to program in BASIC on a Sinclair ZX80 back in 1980 (I was
13).  I have been programming ever since, through school and college and
university and now in my professional life (yes, I'm a professional computer
programmer).  I've not yet finished learning how to program.  :)

Cheers, Tim.
