<div class="sectionContent">
<p class="aboutme">
I'm a software engineer with a few years of experience. My
interest range is wide from frontend to backend, machine
learning, game development and everything else about
programming. But my main things is backend web engineering. Find
below more detailed info about my skills and experience, then
contact me if you wish.
With a background in Economics and Finance, I have long been captivated by computer technologies and their
underlying mechanics. This passion motivated me to transition to a career in IT after working for a few
years in the finance sector. In hindsight, while I missed having a formal IT education, I don't regret my
finance studies,as they've proven valuable to my career and personal growth.
<br><br>
I recently reached the five-year mark in my software engineering career. Beginning with self-study to secure
my first developer role, I have since gained hands-on experience with widely used technologies and real-world
projects. My work has spanned diverse projects, largely with companies providing IT solutions. More details
on my experience can be found in the relevant section of my profile.
<br><br>
Although my non-IT educational background initially posed challenges, especially in securing my first job,
I overcame these through analytical thinking and a practical approach to tasks. My senior team members have
consistently given me positive feedback on my work. To strengthen my theoretical IT foundation, I regularly
engage in self-study, particularly in areas like data structures and algorithms.
<br><br>
My journey as a software developer has been rewarding both personally and for the stakeholders I work with.
I'm looking forward not to stop it!
