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.
