I was born in Ukraine in 2006 🇺🇦, and I've been living in Spain since 2012 🇪🇸.
In 2017, I started pursuing my passion and journey to become a software developer. I am passionate about computer science and enjoy learning new things and technologies!
Coding is awesome, but I also enjoy self-hosting, system administration, networking, cybersecurity, and electronics ❤️
- Developer & maintainer of Via Mallorca - an attempt to make Mallorca's public transportation system better with a mobile app.
- Occasional contributor to Immich - a High performance self-hosted photo and video management solution
- Former Rafa Nadal International School Student (secondary education)
- Studied system administration & networking at IES Porto Cristo (vocational education)
- Currently studying cross-platform development at Cesur (vocational education)
- Attending CS50 virtually!
- Part-time Software Developer at Protur Hotels (Grup Bauzá)
- Part-time Audiovisual Technician at CM Hotels
- I got into programming & computers from an electronics & AV background, initially inspired by my grandpa, who was an electronics engineer; I learned AV knowledge as a kid, spending evenings in hotel backstages & at my parents' shows.
- My first programming experience was at 11 when I started writing simple
.batscripts, then expanded my knowledge with a Python book at 13. - I'm a systemizer by trait - navigate software & hardware interfaces by muscle memory & patterns instead of labels & icons, often to a very extreme level.
- Surprisingly, I dislike AI - especially for coding & system administration; it turns any codebase into an unmaintainable mess over time. I would rather spend a bit more time researching and learning instead of using AI for everything.
- I'm highly into FPV, drones, and RC in general. In my free time, I build & fly my own quads, as well as help others with troubleshooting.
- Some other hobbies I had before coding were piano, which I played since age 5, and Launchpad since age 11.
- The last few years I've been very anxious - but I'm still trying to be productive, and do whatever I can to be better at what I do.
