A lifetime hobby turned into a profession!
I still remember my first encounter with programming in elementary school at the age of 8. At 12, I was enrolled to a programming course. I wrote small scripts and apps using Pascal.
In 2004, I built my first website about the history of Earth. It wasn't great but it made me realize my passion for programming. That led me toward getting a Bachelor degree in Computer Science.
Fast forward to today, I build web applications as a freelance full-stack web developer.
