Get to know me better

I first interacted with a computer at 8, when my brother taught me how to play on our first PC, a Compaq Presario S5100NX. Even today, that game holds a special place in our hearts.

With limited internet access at the time, I turned to Microsoft Encarta for my homework needs. Occasionally, I'd become bored, prompting me to explore other software like Minesweeper or . I was really fascinated by how much fun computers could be.

Some time later, in my teenage years, I took courses on technical computer assistance. This earned me some gigs and money, which I then used to assemble my own PC. The joy of profiting from my hobby inspired me to pursue a computer systems engineering. With the support of my family and friends, I graduated with honors in 2019.

Since then, I've had multiple jobs where I've met , many of whom have shaped my career and taught me lots of the things I know today.

TL;DR: Began with Age of Empires 2, now a computer systems engineer. My journey involved tech courses, jobs, and collaborations, yielding 5+ years of experience.

    I've been working full-time at TTT Studios since then. The team is great, and the job keeps me challenged. Life is good.

    At this point in my career, I decided to master a specific role in web development.

    DaCodes brought me in as a contractor to team up with TTT Studios. 99% of the time, I was working with the folks at TTT, so when the project came to an end, they hired me directly to keep collaborating together.

  3. 2020 - 2021

    Full-stack developer at Prixz

    This job was awesome and very challenging since the company .

    My colleagues were so much better than me, and I started experiencing imposter syndrome. On top of that, I had to learn a whole new tech stack from scratch, which added even more pressure to the mix.

    Even so, I enjoyed working there. My boss and teammates were the best, always helping me out. I have lots of respect for those guys because they taught me tons of valuable stuff.

  4. 2018 - 2020

    Full-stack developer at Cointic

    During my university days, I landed an internship at a small startup near my home. Things were going great, and the boss liked my work so much that they offered me a full-time position.

    Eventually, I decided it was time to move on because I realized staying put wasn't doing wonders for my career, and I just needed a change.
