About Me
Proactive IT specialist. I have been programming since I was 12, and I got my first commercial experience at 15, working as a freelancer. This allowed me to accumulate deep practical experience in
development and project management while still studying. I am interested in complex
architectural tasks, from web services in Python to low-level optimization in
Rust and Assembler. I approach tasks responsibly, am able to quickly master new
technologies, and work equally effectively both in a team and independently.
In addition to commercial development, I am actively involved in the life of the IT community: I am a contributor to open-source projects and took part in the world's largest hackathon
World's Largest Hackathon 2025 and Kiro Hackathon 2025.

Additional Information
Passion for IT I am deeply passionate about the IT field not only professionally but also as a hobby. Apart from software development, I enjoy working with electronics and system administration: I set up DNS records, create mail servers, and maintain computer hardware. This constant exploration helps me stay current with emerging technologies. Communication Skills People often assume that highly technical individuals lack strong communication skills, but in my case, the opposite is true. I attended a theater club in my early years, which helped me develop public speaking and presentation skills. As a result, I can clearly explain complex technical concepts, even to those with zero IT knowledge. Teaching and Mentoring I enjoy sharing knowledge, assisting team members, and teaching colleagues. I have successfully motivated and taught children (ages 7 to 15) the basics of IT, and I am even more effective when teaching adults. Providing training sessions and writing articles are also part of my skill set.
