Behind every face is a tale of trials, triumphs, and transformation

Life is a constant process of trial and error ‐ mistakes show us our limits, challenges test our resilience, and experiences shape our perspective. What we take from them is entirely up to us.

My Story

At this time, I'm a third-year Computer Science student. But I didn't wake up one day and decide to become a developer ‐ it just kind of happened.

Back then, Minecraft was hugely popular among kids, and I was no exception ‐ I spent countless hours playing it. One day, while playing on a server, someone in the global chat mentioned that they were struggling to set up their own server. I was only around nine years old at the time and had absolutely no idea how servers worked ‐ neither in Minecraft nor in any other game. But for some reason, I told him I could fix it.

I started searching the internet, digging through forums, and after a while, I managed to find a solution. We ended up working together to build our own server, and that's where it all began. Setting up game servers, running online forums ‐ it was my first step into the world of technology.

But the real hero of this story is my father. He was the one who first showed me how to build a PC, sparking my curiosity and passion for technology. For that, I'll always be grateful.

Developer's Toolbox

Every developer has their own set of tools ‐ here's mine. These are the languages, frameworks, and technologies I rely on to build efficient, scalable, and well-structured applications. Whether it's backend development, frontend work, or managing infrastructure, this toolbox helps me turn ideas into reality.

Beyond Work

When I'm not staring at lines of code for hours, I love brewing a cup of tea, grabbing a book, and getting lost in the worlds of sci-fi literature. It's an incredible escape from everyday life ‐ reading allows me to experience things I might never encounter otherwise. It's a great workout for the mind, a moment of relaxation, and an opportunity for self-reflection all at once.

I live by the saying Mens sana in corpore sano ‐ a healthy mind in a healthy body. That's why, for many years now, I've made sports a regular part of my life, whether it's skateboarding, running, or cycling. Physical activity is the perfect way to refresh and clear my mind.

I'm also a huge fan of ambient music, especially space ambient, which can spark the imagination just as much as a well-written book. Additionally, I enjoy louder genres like rock and metal, as well as the vibes of liquid drum and bass ‐ and I even used to play guitar myself!

What's Next?

In IT, learning never really stops. I'm currently in my third year of studies, and in the near future, I'd love to pursue a master's degree in computer science or mathematics ‐ something that has been on my mind for a long time and feels like a quiet dream of mine. I've even considered studying philosophy as a fascinating addition, something that could offer a fresh perspective ‐ but who knows what the future holds?

For now, I'm focused on growing in the open-source space while also working on my engineering thesis in AI/ML.
