About me

I'm a Software Engineer with professional experience in designing, developing, and deploying software since 2018. I started as a full-stack developer, though in the last couple of years, I've been working as a Django/Python backend developer.

I have experience building REST APIs, app containerization, front-end development, managing dependencies, working with cloud services, and creating well-written documentation. I like learning new technologies to stay up-to-date. I consider myself an avid learner. In non-tech skills, I'm a good communicator, like to work in teams, and enjoy helping others.

Outside work, I spent my free time playing video games, watching Formula 1, building model kits, and doing occasional photography.
