About

I'm not someone who always knew their passion from a young age. Instead, I found my calling in web development later on, after exploring various paths.

But the moment I started playing around with HTML I knew instantly that I had found my lifelong pursuit. Since then, I've been dedicated to improving my skills and expanding my knowledge daily, striving to grow both as a developer and as a person.

Being self-taught, I am extremely grateful for all those who make it happen, either with their open-source contributions or by sharing their experience in the form of a blog post, a course or in real life. I hope that someday I will give back to the community as well!

Work

I have worked at my first company, Rocket Path PC, for almost 5 years.

Despite my background in React, I initially learned Drupal and PHP on the job. I contributed to several E-commerce websites and independently managed the development of numerous presentation websites along with SCSS and jQuery.

Taking charge of the HTML landing pages delivery, I solidified my styling skills and optimized the process saving significant time.

For the past 2.5 years I've been a part of the React team, where we developed decoupled E-commerce websites with Next.js and Chakra UI.

Since my schedule these years was packed, there was little room for personal projects. However I am currently studying TypeScript, TailwindCSS and more, creating projects some of which are detailed below:
