I work as a mid-level Software Engineer, focusing primarily on backend development with Python.

In addition to my professional work, I code extensively in my free time: exploring procedural generation, designing video games, diving into computer vision, and automating processes.

With three years of practical experience and a degree in Software Engineering, programming isn't just my career, it's my personal superpower. Python is my trusted companion day in and day out.

Even during holidays, going a week without coding feels like something is missing. For me, coding isn't merely about writing lines of code; it's about solving problems. That's why I see myself as more of a problem-solver and builder enthusiast than just a programmer.
