Summary

Upon graduating from university, I seized the opportunity to integrate my theoretical knowledge with practical experience. Working as a Backend and Full-Stack Developer in a small team on freelance projects, I honed my leadership skills and enhanced my technical abilities. Post-graduation, I ventured into the realm of Testing, steering my career in this direction. My goal is to leverage my expertise in Development and Testing, contributing to a dynamic company and advancing my career in these domains. The key to progress, in my view, lies in applying theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios and maintaining a focus on learning something new every day.
