About

My first encounter with programming was in middle school, coding on Pascal. This sparked a passion that led me to develop a biological laboratory book with a questionnaire using Delphi.

Years later, as a chemist, I found myself locked out of the laboratory, unable to work, while my tech-savvy friends were working from home. So, I decided to switch careers and reignite my long-forgotten passion for programming.

I started with Python, but quickly realized that I wanted to work on something where I could see immediate results of my code. I began learning web development with a focus on JavaScript, and it was a hit.

Now, I've developed several personal projects, and I particularly enjoy working with React (perhaps because its logo reminds me of my chemical past?) I'm now seeking to join a team of developers and designers where I can contribute to bringing great projects and ideas to life.
