About Me
I'm a curious and dedicated architect-turned-software engineer with a passion for meaningful projects. My background in architecture design instilled in me a strong sense of creativity, problem-solving, and a meticulous eye for detail.
I have always been curious about technology and science. During my time studying architecture at university, my curiosity extended beyond artistic aspects.I was eager to deeply understand the various technologies used in developing and implementing construction projects.
This natural curiosity led me to explore new technologies, which played a crucial role in increasing productivity by 50% in the teams I led as an architect.
The positive impact of software on my career as an architect inspired me to pursue a career in software engineering.
Looking ahead, my goal is to continue learning, collaborating with talented software development teams, and contributing to the creation of software that positively impacts people and businesses.
