I started my career in 2015 after completing a Master's degree in Computer Science and Math. For the following two years, I worked as a CS teacher, helping students grasp core CS concepts. In 2018 I accepted an offer from Highlight Agency and took the position of Front-end Software Engineer there. Back then I collaborated with a team of engineers on building websites for clients of the Agency. While working there I polished my expertise with JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, jQuery, and React while also learning how to work with responsive design and collaborate effectively with team members. In early 2023, I became a Full-stack Developer at Blue&Yellow Foundation, where I was working on their company’s website, and led a team of engineers while being responsible for features like Stripe and Eventbrite integration. In this role, I polished my knowledge of the Next.js framework and integration of 3rd party APIs. In October 2024, I joined GoodCode as a Senior Software Engineer, working closely with clients in the cybersecurity domain. I led the successful development and deployment of a cybersecurity threat platform, strengthening my leadership and development capabilities. Today, I have a strong foundation in front-end and back-end development, especially utilizing TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS tech stack. I strive to continually expand my expertise and enhance my skills.
