💻💡 I have been working as a software engineer and researcher for the past 7+ years and have spent countless hours of imagining, solving and planning things that come in my way. I am always very serious with what I do and my ambitions are always high as to never let myself down. All I am looking forward is the next project.

I'm always talking to more experienced people to know new ideas and thoughts. I love helping others, especially teaching or advising and that's why I launched Volunteer Tech®. I value communication and empathy, and I believe that's the most important thing above all, both at work and outside.

When I started working as a software developer, I believed the main purpose of the role was simply to write code. However, over time, I realized that this perspective was misguided. It's more about solving problems. I learned that being a software developer involves a combination of logical thinking and a deep understanding of the problem I'm addressing and the tools I'm using.

Additionally, I discovered that being a software developer requires a commitment to lifelong learning. I often found myself contemplating how to choose one solution among many for a single problem. Ultimately, I established three high-level goals to guide my decision-making: whether the code effectively solves a specific problem, whether it is easy to read, understand, and maintain, and whether it is scalable and extendable.

Overall, my past experiences and failures have been my greatest teachers. One of the key lessons I've learned on my journey as a software developer is that the role is fundamentally about being both a problem solver and a lifelong learner. Without this mindset, I can assure you, you'll inevitably find yourself stuck at some point. So, if you’re not genuinely passionate about consistently learning new things, then software development or engineering might not be the right path for you.
