About Me

hello, world

So, how did I land here? Well, I got interested in coding at my last job, when I worked alongside developers at a software company.

I started learning some coding as a hobby, and it opened my eyes to a whole new world... It's making me much more curious about how things around me work. And step by step, I got more curious, which eventually led me to studying computer science part time - and I love it!

I work in a different field still, and I do like my organization (which in fact has close to zero relation to tech, lol). So I am not sure if I'll be looking to switch careers, or maybe try finding creative ways to use my new skills and knowledge in this job. But in any case, my brain is expanding, and that's what I find most important :)

Nowhere is it written that you can't do it.

Video:

The only video I ever uploaded on YouTube (at least until now) is a stop-motion animation named Pandara, which was a group project from a workshop I participated in at an animation festival. Here it is:
