About Myself

From a young age, I've been involved with ICT, mainly focusing on writing and designing programs and websites.

I enjoy working independently and in a calm and thoughtful manner to quickly achieve the desired results. When I'm programming, I can fully immerse myself and work with great focus.

I'm also curious about how programs work, and if I can't find one that meets all my needs—or simply to automate tasks—I write my own applications. I enjoy experimenting with this, finding new solutions, and designing user-friendly interfaces.

In my free time, I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy books, or watching movies in the same genre.

Competencies & Skills

I am eager to learn and enjoy diving into new subjects and projects.
Thoughtful Communication
In social situations I may be reserved, but I communicate carefully and thoughtfully when needed.
Calm Personality
I feel most comfortable in a quiet environment where I can work independently and with focus on my tasks.
